Why don't the bottom parts of the climber roses grow leaves? Reasons why there are no leaves or flowers in the middle and lower parts of climber roses.

Reasons why there are no leaves or flowers in the lower middle part of the climbing roses

As shown in the above picture, the bottom of the climbing roses are bare, and the flowers are concentrated in the middle and upper parts, which should be the state of many flower enthusiasts' climbing roses. First of all, I need to clarify that this state is not necessarily bad, because there are few leaves at the bottom, and the ventilation is very good, so the chance of being infected with diseases and insects will be greatly reduced. The disadvantage is that there are few flowers and leaves in the middle and lower parts, which makes people feel that it is not very beautiful.

Let's take a look at the grand parade of climbing roses. Its flowers bloom from top to bottom, almost reaching the ground.

Why is there such a big difference? The main reasons are as follows:

1. Over-pruning during winter traction.

Many flower enthusiasts will cut off the bottom thin branches and short branches when牵引 the climbing roses in winter, leaving only the strong long branches. This results in the middle and lower parts of the climbing roses having no enough flowering branches to be pulled.

2. Blindly breaking the basal buds.

Some flower enthusiasts want the barefoot appearance of the bottom of the climbing roses, so they will break off the new buds growing from the bottom. Some不明原因 flower enthusiasts blindly follow suit and also break off the basal buds of their roses, resulting in the top dominance of the climbing roses being even more pronounced, with new branches concentrated at the top and no flowering branches in the middle and lower parts.

3. Insufficient traction angle.

The reason for牵引ing climbing roses is to break the top dominance by pulling the horizontal branches, allowing as many bud points on the branches as possible to germinate. If the branches are still vertically distributed during winter traction, the bud points in the middle and lower parts of the branches generally will not germinate, and thus there will be no flowers.

So for barefoot climbing roses, if we want them to bloom again in the middle and lower parts of the plant, we need to do two things.

1. Strengthen fertilizer and water management after flowering.

Climbing roses consume a lot of nutrients when they bloom in spring. It is necessary to supplement the fertilizer for climbing roses in time after the flowers in spring. You can use fermented organic fertilizer mixed with slow-release fertilizer and shallowly buried or applied around the root system of the rose plant. As shown in the picture of the old large藤本, the amount of top-dressing fertilizer after flowering, the fermented organic fertilizer can be used up to 20~30 jin.

In addition to applying long-acting fermented organic fertilizer, it is recommended to apply a ternary compound fertilizer every 15 days or so. When the fertilizer and water are sufficient, the climbing roses will sprout new buds from the bottom. These new buds will become our new main force for winter traction.

2. Pay attention to protecting the new branches growing from the bottom.

If you want to see flowers at the bottom of the climbing roses, you need to pay attention to protecting the new basal and bamboo shoots. When these new buds grow out, they can be horizontally pulled to the middle and lower parts of the climbing roses in winter, and they will bloom from top to bottom in spring.

The above are the reasons why there are no leaves or flowers in the middle and lower parts of the climbing roses and the full content of why the bottom of the climbing roses don't grow leaves. I hope it can help you, and at the same time, I hope everyone will come to see more green plant flower experience and common sense!
