Every type of rose needs pruning in spring. It is best to do it in mid-April, when the frosts are over. Then you need to cut off all dead shoots and those that rub against each other. In order for the roses to be healthy and budding in the next season, it is crucial to keep them after flowering. Thanks to this, they will easily survive the winter and will delight with their impressive buds again the next year.
What to do with a rose after it blooms? Topping and trimming
Pruning roses after flowering makes the flowers healthier and stronger, the plant grows faster, looks nicer and blooms more profusely in the next season. The plant needs to be topped, i.e. remove faded flowers. Cut them just below the head. In the case of multiflorous roses, after all the flowers on one branch have faded, shorten it by 3/4 of its length. Twigs of climbing roses should be shortened by half. Also, get rid of any diseased shoots where diseases could develop. The cut should be diagonal and outwards, 1 cm above the eyelet.
How to care for garden roses? Prepare homemade fertilizer
Pruning should be done immediately after the flowers fade. This should not be done later than mid-September. If you prune the roses after this time, they will be weakened and may be damaged in winter. Use a sharp, clean pruning shears for cutting. Cut gently so as not to damage the rest of the flower. Use kitchen scraps and garden waste, such as leaves and branches, to make compost to fertilize your roses. Nettle manure will also work well. 1 kg of nettle leaves pour 10 liters of water, cover with gauze and leave for 2 weeks. After this time, strain, pour into a bottle and spray.
