: How do you all grow roses, and why can the ones bought be so short and bloom? Yesterday, I saw a flower friend leave a message in the background asking: How should roses be grown? Why can other people's roses bloom at such a short height, while my own roses grow so tall?
Today, let's talk about this issue. When it comes to how to grow roses, there's actually a lot to say. Today, we mainly solve the problem of how to make roses bloom at a relatively short height. First, let's look at some photos of roses in bloom.
After seeing the above pictures, you must want to say: Wow, so small, how can it bloom so many flowers?
I. Variety Selection: If you want the rose plant to be short and still bloom many flowers, first of all, you need to be particular about variety selection. If you like this dwarf type, it is recommended to choose mini roses, also known as micro-month.
Micro-month refers to rose varieties with a relatively small plant size, suitable for balcony potting. Some micro-months bloom small flowers, and some have medium-sized flowers, which we call large-flowered micro-months. The several we have in the picture are all large-flowered micro-month varieties.
If your rose is not a micro-month but a shrub rose, it may grow slightly taller, for example, like this.
These shrub varieties, relatively speaking, need the new branches to grow longer before they can bloom. For the first batch of flowers in spring, the plant can still be controlled at a relatively short height. But by the second and third batches of flowers, if there is no reasonable pruning after flowering, it is easy for the plant to become very tall.

In home cultivation, generally, after flowering, we only cut the残花 or cut back 1/3-1/2 of the branches, which is a light pruning. By autumn, the plant usually becomes taller.
If you want to control the height of the plant, you should pay attention to a relatively heavy pruning after the first batch of flowers. This can reduce the height, but after pruning, fertilization and watering must keep up to grow more new buds and bloom.
Usually, in nurseries, due to professional management and abundant fertilization and watering, the plants are usually heavily pruned after flowering, often cutting off at least 2/3 of the branches to control plant height and meet the root care needs.
II. Proper Twining: Actually, under normal care and proper pruning of branches, the normal height of shrub roses is acceptable. But sometimes when we choose varieties, we mistakenly treat climbing varieties as shrub varieties, which can easily cause the plant to grow very tall before flowering, or even not bloom at all.
Climbing roses often need to occupy more growth space, so they are more suitable for creating flower walls. If space is limited, a flower trellis should be provided for the climbing rose to wrap around and grow. Like this.
