3 preparations to make for roses after autumn so the autumn blooms come thicker and brighter

It has been 1-2 weeks since the Start of Autumn, and we are gradually entering the best climate of the post-autumn period. Mom no longer has to worry about my roses not blooming, but you still need to make 3 preparations to let the autumn flowers come on even stronger!

Give your roses a haircut

In summer, because the weather is hot, even if the roses had yellow leaves, I basically did not dare touch them at all, for fear that cutting in the wrong place would damage the plant or cause a serious disease like black cane, and the loss would be fairly heavy. Now it is fine, autumn has arrived, and it is time to give the roses a good haircut.

If the seedlings are still fairly small, do not rush too much; just cut off the yellow leaves and dead leaves, and after flowering cut off the flower stalks. If they are fairly strong mature branches, it is recommended to cut off the slightly weaker branches, and at the same time shorten the taller branches, which can prevent leggy growth, maintain the plant shape, and promote side bud differentiation.

Be careful to prune spent flowers, generally at a point 1-2 leaves below the flower. If shortening a branch, generally cut off 1/3 of the whole branch, and it is better to prune about 1 cm above a bud point.

The first round of flower buds in autumn should also not be kept; still conserve strength and let the roses regain their vitality. This is because in summer the roses themselves are not very robust in growth, and less fertilizer is applied, so the flowers produced are also fairly small, and flowering also consumes a lot of the plant's own energy. For the roses to recover their condition and then grow and bloom again is another cycle, and the time needed is even longer.

Make up in autumn for what was lacking in summer

What do roses lack most in summer? Definitely fertilizer. Because the summer climate is hot, many flower growers either do not fertilize or fertilize fairly lightly, and the roses' own absorption capacity is also fairly limited, so throughout the whole summer they are basically either starving or half full. Now that the cool summer has finally come, you should hurry and give them a good supplement.

To supplement fertilizer for roses, if you do not want a nutrient deficiency, or if you find it troublesome, it is still recommended to use an ecologically safe organic nutrient solution, rich and balanced in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, with various organic matter, minerals, humic acid and so on added, to promote the roses' rapid growth, strong plants, green leaves and vigorous flowering.

In addition, after pruning, the roses need to recover their condition, and nutrition must also keep up, so that the wounds can scab over quickly and they can grow and bloom normally. Only then will the plants be fairly robust, and of course they can also produce more flowers.
