Pruning rose flowers in winter

January and December pruning

In winter, the rose is usually pruned in December, which is mainly to cut off its old branches, weak branches, withered branches and residual branches, leaving a strong trunk, which can avoid the consumption of excess nutrients and help it survive the winter. and it is also conducive to the germination of new branches in the coming spring.

2. Spring pruning

The rose also needs to be pruned in spring. when its buds begin to grow, we need to pick a well-shaped bud to stay, and then cut off all the other side buds so that only one peanut grows from each branch. in this way, its flowers will be more beautiful.

3. Pruning after flowering

Chinese rose also needs to be pruned after flowering, which is mainly to cut off the residual flowers and thin, crossed and overlapping branches, which can reduce the consumption of nutrients and enhance the ventilation and light transmittance of the plant, which is beneficial to the next flowering. And it can avoid plant breeding diseases and insect pests.

4. Points for attention

Pay attention to the hard branches of the rose, so when we prune, we should use special gardening shears. These scissors are sharp and can flatten the wound of the plant. After pruning, we also need to do a good job of maintenance and management to avoid splashing water on its wound, otherwise the plant is prone to rot.
