Miniature roses are popular among flower raising people, especially balcony party, because of their petite and lovely plant type, numerous flower heads, colorful patterns and less cultivation space. Want to miniature rose flowering more, flowering long, flower bud constantly, after each flowering timely pruning and fertilizer management is very important!

The miniature rose florescence lasts long. Farming properly, the climate is suitable, can bloom all year round. After flowering, pruning can be carried out three times a year: after the first batch of flowers bloom, in order to make it sprout new branches faster and concentrate nutrient supply, the remaining flowers and two to three pairs of leaves under the flowers should be cut off in time, and the position of the bud point should be observed according to the situation. Cut off about one centimeter from the upper part of the outward bud point. At the same time, in order to make the flowering more orderly and keep the plant type consistent, the medium branches are cut off and 3~4 buds are reserved; the weak branches can be cut off again and 1~2 buds are reserved. Because strong branches grow vigorously, in order to properly inhibit their growth, light shear can be carried out to retain about 4~5 buds. At the same time, in order to make the branches more plump, dense and tough, timely cut off dead branches and leaves and too dense branches, not only to prevent the emergence of red spiders, but also to promote the germination of new branches faster. In order to prevent the breeding of powdery mildew, 500~800 times mancozeb or carbendazim can be sprayed regularly. Because flowering consumes a lot of nutrients, after pruning, comprehensive compound fertilizer should be supplemented in time, combined with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, or potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution of 1:1000 can be sprayed once every 7 days to promote flower bud differentiation again.

The second pruning does not need to be re-cut, cutting off the remaining flowers and a pair of leaves under the flowers. At the same time, the weak branches at the bottom, the inward buds and the yellow leaves were cut off to increase the permeability of the plants. While maintaining an adequate supply of fertilizer.

The third pruning is after autumn, when the miniature rose enters the end flowering stage. The pruning after flowering can adopt the method of cutting in the middle. The strong plants can retain two-thirds of the whole plant, and the weaker plants can retain one-half or 3~4 strong main branches. At this time, the weather is getting cold, keep the basin soil slightly wet, stop fertilizing, and then give fertilizer and water supply in time in the spring of next year.
