Roses are not only "medicine jars", but also need to be pruned frequently. When is the best time to prune roses? In fact, many times, Chinese roses can be pruned, but the degree and purpose of pruning are different. Let's take a look at Boqi's Bian Xiao.

Rose (details)

Let's talk about winter pruning with strong pruning. When winter comes and the leaves of Chinese rose fall (or turn red after the first frost), we can start pruning. Shrub rose is generally pruned to 1/3 plant height. In this way, more new branches will sprout and bloom more flowers next spring.

So when will the Chinese rose be pruned during the growing period?

You can generally choose to prune from the end of August to the beginning of September. Of course, pruning at this time is different from pruning in winter. Pruning in winter is to make bloom better in the coming year, and pruning in growing season is to make bloom better in autumn. At this time, it is suitable for light pruning of flowering branches, generally pruning at 2/3 of the tree height, and trying to keep more leaves, because leaves are photosynthesis factories.

In addition to the above two kinds of pruning, in fact, there are other times in the process of Chinese rose cultivation that can also be appropriately pruned, such as blind pruning of Chinese rose. This is the time to find and trim, the sooner the better.

Of course, pruning can also be done in the flowering period of roses. At this time, it is generally to sparse buds or remove too many buds. It is not that the more buds, the better, because the nutrition is too scattered, which will lead to bad flowers.

It is also necessary to prune in time after flowering. Flower friends usually trim the residual flowers in time. What flower friends need to know here is that the pruning of residual flowers should cut off all the branches of the first group with more than 5 leaflets.
