Today, we continue to discuss the topic of pruning roses. In previous articles, we have explained in detail the process of thinning rose buds, so today let's talk about pruning after the rose flowers.
Recently, many flower friends' roses have started to bloom, and my own roses have also started to bloom profusely.
In the next month, roses will reach their full bloom state, but blooming and withering are part of life. How should we deal with and prune the withered roses?
For pruning after the rose flowers, we can consider the following three situations:
1. Multi-Head Roses without Thinning
For multi-head roses that have not undergone thinning, the blooming order of their flowers should be: the top bud blooms first, then after withering, the middle bud blooms, and finally the small bud opens.
In this case, we just need to cut off the withered残花, and after all the flowers have withered, we can cut back the branches.
2. Multi-Head Cluster Blooming Roses after Thinning
For multi-head roses after thinning, because we have done the thinning work, the blooming time of the flowers is basically the same, so we just need to cut back after the flowers wither.
3. Single-Head Roses after Thinning
Single-head roses after thinning are the same as multi-head roses. Since there is only one flower, we just need to cut back the branch after the flower withers.
So how much should you cut back the branches when pruning?
First, we need to understand why we need to cut back.
Pruning branches is to dwarf the rose plant and allow the rose to grow stronger new branches from a relatively low position to bloom.
Based on this principle, we can appropriately prune the roses.
If it is a potted large-flowered rose, it is recommended that you cut back to 1/3 of the branch, and for ground planting, you can prune to 1/2. This is because for potted plants, we need to control the height, and the branches of large-flowered roses generally grow longer.
So how much should you cut back the branches when pruning?
Small roses and mini roses can have 1/2 of their branches cut back.
The above information from GreenEnthusiast.com is for relatively healthy plants. If your rose is not well-maintained and has no leaves at the bottom, it is recommended that you retain as many leaves as possible, and if necessary, only cut off the残花.
Note:
Pruning must be moderate. If the pruning is too aggressive, it may cause the rose to die or not sprout for a long time.
Similarly, if the pruning is too light, it may lead to a tall and weak rose plant with reduced flowering quality.
