Excerpt from the "Three-Step Method of Growing Chinese Roses" series
For plant lovers who enjoy flowering plants, the ultimate goal is to achieve full blooms regardless of the variety of flowers they grow.
But our potted Chinese roses often struggle to bloom fully, and even when planted in the ground, it's rare for them to bloom to their full potential.
So does that mean Chinese roses can't bloom fully?
Of course not, with proper care, Chinese roses can also bloom fully! Just look at the potted Chinese rose above that achieved this.
So how can we make Chinese roses bloom fully?
It's simple yet complicated. The technique of making Chinese roses bloom fully has been demonstrated by some readers in the group, which is "牵引" (traction).
The traction mentioned here is not the traction of climbing Chinese roses, but I assume the inspiration probably comes from the traction of climbing Chinese roses.
Usually, after pruning during the growing season, the top two buds of the Chinese rose will germinate, but the lower buds may not necessarily germinate. With fewer new buds, the flowering branches will be fewer, and naturally, there will be fewer flowers.
But if you can apply oblique traction, it can promote the nutrient flow back, encouraging the lower buds to germinate as well. With more new branches, the flowering branches will naturally increase, making it easy to achieve a full bloom.
For shrub Chinese roses, traction can be performed for the first time after pruning in winter, then pruned after the first flush of flowers in spring, and then a second traction. This way, the plant will grow into a fuller shape.
Of course, besides appropriate traction, fertilizing and watering management is indispensable.
If the fertilization and watering are not sufficient, even if the branches grow, they won't bloom fully; they will just be blind branches.
So we must lay a solid foundation and then use small techniques to enhance the ornamental state of the entire potted plant.
There are no one-size-fits-all methods. Promoting more branching is a necessary condition for a full bloom, but sufficient fertilization and watering are the prerequisites.
