Excerpt from the "Three-Step Rose Growing Method" series

In the previous article, Lanyao introduced the pruning method for climbing rose flower walls, and then a flower friend left a message for Lanyao asking how young climbing rose seedlings should be pruned.

That makes sense too. Many of us flower friends probably have young climbing seedlings on hand, especially us beginner flower friends, who all bought young climbing rose seedlings excitedly while harboring the beautiful wish of a flower wall.So do young climbing rose seedlings need pruning? How exactly should they be pruned?

For young climbing rose seedlings, we also need to treat them according to the situation. Climbing roses are divided into once-blooming climbers and repeat-blooming climbers. If it is a balcony or terrace with limited space, Lanyao recommends that you grow repeat-blooming climbers. Once-blooming climbers take up too much space and bloom only once a year, which is a bit useless for flower friends with limited space.Pruning method for young once-blooming climber seedlings:

Once-blooming climbers are mostly planted in the ground, with large growing space, so if the young seedling blooms, then after flowering just cut off the spent flowers. If there are dark green old leaves near the soil surface at the bottom, they can be removed, mainly to improve ventilation.Pruning method for young repeat-blooming climber seedlings:

For young repeat-blooming climbing rose seedlings, we divide pruning into two situations: one is hoping for another bloom, and the other is hoping for the seedling to grow as quickly as possible. The pruning method mentioned in the climbing rose flower wall pruning method is the pruning method that promotes a second flush of flowers. Flower friends who have seen it should still remember.

1. Pruning method for hoping for another bloom:Young climbing rose seedlings usually bloom with branches drooping like this.

At this time, if you want this rose to bloom again, you can prune from the bending point.

For upright branches, cut the flowering branch back by 1/3. Then cut off the dense leaves at the bottom and especially short small branches to improve ventilation.

2. Pruning method focused on growing the seedling:The above method is for pruning young climbing rose seedlings when you want a second bloom. If you do not want a second bloom and mainly want to grow the seedling, then when pruning you only need to cut off the spent flowers.

At the same time, you can remove the dark green leaves at the bottom near the soil to increase the plant's airiness, which can reduce the occurrence of pests and diseases. After pruning, both water and fertilizer management need to be strengthened so that young climbing rose seedlings can grow according to our wishes. Here you may ask,Why does the pruning here not talk about plant shape?

Young climbing rose seedlings have no plant shape to speak of! Moreover, for building flower walls and flower arches, these old branches are useless and will all be cut off in the future. Only strong basal shoots are the main flowering force we truly need.
