Excerpt from the "Three-Step Method for Rose Cultivation" series of articles
In addition to pruning after the rose blooms, pruning is sometimes also needed before the flowers. Does this sound confusing to you? Do you think I'm making it up? Pruning before flowering, won't it bloom?
Is there a saying about rose cultivation that you've all heard of:
Have you heard this saying?
At first glance, this seems to make a lot of sense, but sometimes it's an exaggeration and not as we imagined.
From personal experience, big shoots don't necessarily lead to big flowers, on the contrary, it can greatly destroy the balance of our rose plant shape.
Many strong-growing rose varieties, such as Queen of Sweden, Jansen, etc., are extremely vigorous but only grow branches and don't like to bloom. Only by cutting short to promote new branches can they bloom better.
The above is based on the relationship between varieties, we need to prune the shoots, actually for most varieties, we also need to prune the shoots.
Although the shoots can produce a standard flower shape, if not pruned in time and left to grow, the shoots tend to overgrow and destroy the balance of the entire rose plant shape.
This can cause one side of the rose potted plant to be strong and tall, while the other side is short and weak, or even both sides of the shoots are tall and the middle old branches are sunken. Therefore, in order to maintain the balance of the whole plant shape, we also need to prune the shoots in time.
Moreover, due to the strong growth of the shoots occupying most of the nutrients, it can lead to other branches' buds lacking nutrients and struggling to bloom.
How to prune the shoots?
When pruning the shoots, first make sure the shoots can sustain themselves and support their growth. What kind of shoots have reached self-sufficiency? At least 1/3 of the leaves have turned green.
We know that the leaves of rose shoots are all red, and these leaves cannot perform effective photosynthesis. Only when the leaves turn green can they effectively photosynthesize, so when pruning the shoots, pay attention to:
The time for pruning the shoots should not be too early, and be sure to wait until at least 1/3 of the leaves are green before pruning.
So, what height should the shoots be pruned to?
If it's a small rose seedling, you can prune to the height you want the branches to grow.
If it's a large potted seedling, it should be pruned to the position of the first pruning of the rose, that is, the position of the first branching of the old branches.
Handling Method for Rose Shoots
Prune to the level of the first pruning position, the shoots will produce new branches here, thereby ensuring the coordination and fullness of the entire rose plant shape.
In spring, roses easily grow shoots, and everyone must seize the opportunity to prune appropriately. Don't let them grow wildly just because you can't bear to cut them, as it might destroy your perfect rose plant shape.
