Want roses with countless blooms? The only difference between varieties is this one step
There are quite a lot of rose varieties, so I won't go into the 7 major categories or 8 major categories. Today I just want to introduce the pruning methods for different rose plant forms, so you can get roses that burst with blooms and fill the whole yard with flowers.
Shrub form
Shrub-form roses generally refer to shrub roses, that is, roses that look like a tree. When pruning, note that the branches all extend outward, the bottom is generally upright, and the upper flowering branches are relatively soft, so these branches are very malleable, soft and variable.
Gardeners with a yard or a relatively large balcony can all grow shrub roses. If growing in pots, pay attention to the direction of the buds when pruning, and you need to control the diameter of the rose. Usually, by pruning the outward-growing rose branches, you control the footprint of the rose. 'Constance' and 'Jubilee Celebration' are both representative varieties.
Upright form
The upright rose form is one whose branches can grow straight upward without support. The branches are thick, the flowers are relatively large, and it can also be grown in small spaces.
Balcony growers can consider this variety. Pruning is also simple: just cut away the old branches and dense branches. The flowers bloom freely, and it can be grown well even in a small pot, a blessing for balcony growers. 'Queen of Sweden' is a representative variety.
If you are a balcony grower, you can choose this upright-form type of rose. Through proper pruning, you can cultivate a very compact shape, and the flowers will open properly. Moreover, upright-form roses are quite suitable for pot cultivation, especially for growing in small pots, and are the first choice for balcony growers.
Climbing form
If you want a rose flower wall or a rose arch, you can choose climbing roses, that is, climbing roses. This type of rose is best planted in the ground. If there is a large wall, you can also plant it below, or make a support yourself and do appropriate training. The pruning method is mainly to keep the large, thick branches.
If you cannot tell which type of rose form it is, you can judge it this way.
The shrub form becomes soft after the second bloom, the flowers open facing downward, and the plant form becomes arch-shaped, but the overall posture is still upright.
For the upright form, the posture during the second flush of flowers is basically unchanged. By autumn the plant height increases, and the overall upright plant form is basically unchanged.
For the climbing form, the branches can grow 3 m in 1 year, a type that keeps extending.
