Previously, some flower enthusiasts left a message asking: How should I prune a multi-year old rose bush? Today, let's talk about this topic.
Pruning methods for multi-year old rose bushes
Rose pruning mainly consists of two stages, one is pruning during the growing season, and the other is pruning during the dormant period. The pruning methods during these two time periods are quite different.
1. Pruning during the growing season
Pruning roses during the growing period mainly involves post-flowering pruning. After each flowering, promptly prune the spent flowers and cut back 1/3 of the flowering branches to control the overall height of the rose plant.
The method of post-flowering pruning is not greatly related to the age of the plant. Whether it's a young seedling or a multi-year old rose plant, you can cut back the flowering branches using this method.
2. Pruning during the dormant period
What to do when the rose bush ages
When it comes to the winter dormant period, many multi-year old rose bushes have severely aged lower branches, and many flower enthusiasts don't know where to start because they can't see any obvious buds.
Many flower enthusiasts have previously asked Green Enthusiast Network, how to prune a rose bush when no buds are visible? In fact, many times it's not that there are no buds, but that the buds are in a隐形的 state, not very obvious, and新手 flower enthusiasts think there are no buds on the rose branches.
In fact, there are many隐形的 buds where the leaves have grown on the rose branches and at the branching positions. After severe pruning of the rose, these隐形的 buds will quickly swell and become visible, and will sprout after the temperature warms up in spring.
For multi-year old roses, due to their advanced age, the germination capacity of the old branches at the bottom will weaken. Generally, when pruning in winter, we mainly cut back the new branches of the current year, retaining 1-2 buds, and the rest are cut off completely.
