The old枝 flowers of Chinese roses have withered, and the shoots are still all buds. How should they be pruned?
When guiding the students of the "Best-selling Flower Wall Creation Camp" to prune, I found a relatively common phenomenon, that is, many Chinese roses have grown strong shoots with a head full of buds, while other flowers have already finished blooming. How should we prune in this case?
Pruning method for Chinese roses with seriously inconsistent flowering periods
For example, the Chinese rose in the above picture, after pruning in winter, the old branches sprouted and grew flower buds. Due to sufficient fertilizer and water, four or five shoots have germinated from the bottom. Now the new buds on the old branches have withered and need to be pruned, while the flower buds of the first shoots are just about to open, and the second batch of shoots are just showing buds. What should we do in this case?
I believe most flower friends are reluctant to prune the shoots and the flower buds of the shoots. In fact, it is the same. Perhaps those who love flowers would all feel reluctant. Even if the plant shape is a bit biased, it is still considered more important to see flowers.
Yes, the purpose of growing flowers is to make them bloom. Therefore, for such cases, my personal suggestion is to only prune the withered branches and retain the flower buds of the shoots. After the shoots finish blooming, prune them uniformly to adjust the plant shape.
Let's look at this one. It is very obvious that the three strong shoots have far exceeded the original height of this Chinese rose. The lower flowers are also close to withering. What should we do in this case?
The overall shape of this Chinese rose is quite good. If you want to maintain the shape, it should be pruned uniformly, which is more conducive to making the crown of the Chinese rose plant grow fuller.
However, there is a saying about Chinese roses: "After a big shoot, there will be a big flower." As you can see from the picture, there are already many flower buds. If you don't want to let go of these flowers, I suggest you don't worry. Keep them first and prune after the shoots have withered.
So, does it mean that if there are shoots, we should wait until the shoots have finished flowering before pruning? That's not the case. For example, the following one: Although there are shoots, the shoots are still in the early stage of growth. At this time, most of the flowers have withered, and we should prune uniformly. Trim the flowering branches and also trim the top of the shoots.
Why do we keep some shoots and cut others?
The shoots that are kept are those that have shown buds, even full of flower buds. At this point, the best time for topping has been missed. When is the best time for topping and what are the specific topping methods? You can refer to the introduction in the book "How to Grow Chinese Roses from Scratch".
Due to the excessive growth of the shoots, the plant shape has been destroyed by the shoots, and the nutrients have been consumed by the shoots. Therefore, these sacrifices should have some returns.
In fact,灌木 Chinese roses often sprout after the first bloom, and only when there is sufficient nutrient supply, it is possible to produce such strong shoots at the same time as the first bloom. This is also because our best-selling flower wall camp students have done a good job in fertilizer and water management in the spring. However, they did not pay attention to topping the shoots of the灌木 Chinese roses in time, which caused this trouble.
No matter when, it is a good thing for Chinese roses to grow vigorously. With sufficient fertilizer and water, they will grow vigorously, have strong resistance, and are not prone to diseases and pests.
As for the handling of the shoots, it doesn't matter if you miss the nearest time for topping because as long as you can make up your mind, anytime is the "best" time for topping.
