Many potted plants need pruning in the process of cultivation, and rose is no exception. The main purpose of rose pruning is to promote lateral bud germination, make plant branches flourish, and the ultimate goal is to blossom more. So what are the principles of rose pruning? The following is an introduction to you.

The principle of pruning rose

Overgrown branches have to be cut, lack of light and excessive nitrogen fertilizer will lead to excessive growth of rose branches, so the leaves of such branches all affect the beauty of the whole plant, so to cut off, you can cut off the whole branch, or at the 1cm above a leaf bud.

Cross branches should be cut off, because branches want to grow in all directions, sometimes branches cross, such branches will compete with each other for sunlight and growth space, and do not look very beautiful, to cut off one side, the general principle is to stay strong and cut weak.

Diseased branches and withered branches should be cut off in time, these branches not only waste nutrients, affect the beauty of the whole plant, but also provide living space for bacteria and fungi, which is easy to cause diseases.

If the plants with weaker plant potential or younger years want to be pruned, they should retain more leaves so as not to get weaker and weaker.

The right time for pruning

After the new buds germinate in spring, pay attention to the direction of the new buds, and the buds that cross with other branches will be erased; pruning before flowering, cutting off weak branches to retain strong branches, pruning more high branches and less lower branches; cut off flowers in time after withering, and the flower branches retain more nutrients at this time, cutting flowers can promote the growth of new buds most quickly, which is beneficial to more flowers in the future. Cut off diseased branches, dead branches and flower branches before dormancy in autumn and winter.
