For rose pruning, you only need a pair of scissors, and flower buds will keep sprouting nonstop
If you want roses to bloom abundantly, it depends first on light, second on pruning, and third on fertilizer. Light is fixed, fertilizer can be bought good quality, but pruning still has to be done by you. Pruning differs across the four seasons: heavy pruning in winter, cutting spent flowers in summer, and light pruning the rest of the time. Don't keep using the same pruning method anymore.
When growing roses, one pair of scissors goes snip snip snip, and flower buds pop pop pop
Pruning roses, first, can control pests and diseases. As long as the pests and diseases are not especially serious, once you cut them off, the new growth will come out better. Second, it can control plant shape. Cut off all those thin, weak, withered, and blind branches.
Third, it can concentrate nutrients. When there are many branches, they take away more nutrients, and the effect on a single flower definitely won't be very good either, so you have to control the plant shape well and cut off more of the branches that affect growth and flowering.
Fourth, it can control the flowering period. If the pruning is relatively heavy, the flowering period will be delayed, and the flowers that bloom will be even more full of vitality. But it is not that the heavier the better. Usually, we need to determine the pruning intensity according to the differences of roses in each season and the size of the plant shape.
Overall, just remember to prune heavily in winter, cut spent flowers in summer, and prune lightly at other times.
Heavy pruning in winter
In winter, roses are in their dormant period. We need to prune the entire plant shape of the seedling. Whether old, weak, diseased, damaged, or blind branches, all must be pruned, and some branches that affect the plant shape must also be cut off together. This is generally done when winter is about to end.
Cut spent flowers in summer
When winter comes, the climate is relatively hot. At this time, it is not a good time for pruning, so when pruning roses, just cut off the spent flowers after blooming. Remember not to do extra pruning; roses cannot take it.
Generally in spring and autumn, you only need to lightly prune the roses. After each blooming, cut off the spent flowers and the 1-2 nodes of branches below the flowers. In spring, pruning is mainly from April to June, and in autumn, pruning in September to October is generally more suitable.
The most important thing to note is that pruning is generally done on sunny days. Pruning after rain makes infection easy. Remember not to prune after rain.
