Is your rose looking ugly? Learn these care tips and turn your rose into a work of art

Growing flowers is a stage everyone goes through. Whether you are a man or a woman, you always hold a special feeling toward flower growers, and growing flowers has now become part of our daily life: growing succulents, growing flowers, growing fruit trees, and so on. Everyone has different preferences, but the goal is the same: hoping the home will be more beautiful, and while growing flowers you can also calm your own mind. It is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

My wife is also someone who loves growing flowers, and every day I can see her busy on the balcony for one or two hours! My wife is an expert at growing roses. The roses she grows look very beautiful, and placed at home they are just like works of art. But many people cannot grow their roses well, and often it is not because of a problem with their flower-growing skills, but because their roses do not look good. Why is that?

My wife told me that growing roses well is one thing, and how the roses grow is another. If you want the roses to grow well, we still need to do it ourselves and help them "put on makeup." We cannot rely only on the roses' natural growth; we also need to help them grow in a more beautiful direction!

This requires a certain sense of aesthetics of your own. As long as your aesthetic sense is there, all you need is a pair of scissors, and you can make your roses look better and better!

I secretly wrote down my wife's "secret makeup manual" to teach everyone how to prune roses so they look beautiful:

1. These are my wife's basic tools for pruning roses: a pair of gloves and a pair of scissors

2. First, dead branches, weak branches, and diseased or pest-infested branches: these three kinds of branches cannot be kept. Even if their position is very good, they cannot be kept, because this will affect the health of the rose.

3. Wilted flowers must be removed. This affects both the health of the plant and the health of newly opened flowers, and may even affect new flower buds.

4. More flower buds are not always better. You need to cut some off before they bloom and keep the buds whose positions you think are good. If there are too many flowers, the nutrients cannot keep up, and then none of the flowers will look good.

5. Choosing the primary and secondary buds: if you want the upper flowers to bloom better, cut off more buds on the sides. If you want the side flowers to bloom better, cut off more buds at the top. The same principle applies in all other directions.

6. If you want the rose to grow more beautifully, you need to remove apical dominance and promptly cut the short main stem, so the plant will grow more toward the outside.

7. When pruning, control the height of the cut surface and the bud points, and the cut should be slanted.

8. Through pruning, control the direction of the branches well, avoid crossing branches, and make shaping easier.

9. If you want the rose to be both stable and strong, then when pruning we should cut off thin branches and keep large branches, and the bud points should also be kept close to the large branches.
