How to prune shrub roses in winter
I didn't plan to update the rose pruning article so early, as I haven't started pruning my own roses yet. However, considering that some friends might be eager, and a classmate from the flower arrangement camp pruned the shrub roses yesterday, I took this classmate's roses as an example and found two roses with relatively higher pruning difficulty to briefly share the thoughts on winter pruning of roses.
Let's first look at the first pot of shrub roses, this rose plant has a relatively even shape and is relatively easy to prune.
Before starting to prune, we need to have a rough target height, which we need to determine based on the current growth and variety of the roses. The branches of the rose plant above are relatively young, so there is no need to consider too much in terms of pruning amplitude, as long as it meets your requirements for plant height.
After making an overall cut to determine the height, we also need to remove all the leaves, which makes it easier to see the growth and direction of all the branches, and then proceed with further precise pruning.
