Pruning roses in spring. How to do it?
It allows you to maintain the desired shape of plants and remove dead shoots. It also affects abundant flowering and when buds appear. An intensive cut will make the flowers bloom later, but they will be larger and will please the eye longer. We use a sharp pruning shears for cutting shrubs so as not to crush the shoots. The way to cut the roses, of course, depends on the shrub species. We cut multi-flower roses for 3-4 stitches. We cut the discount roses similarly, but we leave about 6 buds. In the case of climbing roses of unique flowering, we remove the overwhelmed shoots and long branches growing at the base of the bush. In general, the bushes are slightly cut obliquely at a distance of 0.5 to 1 cm from the last healthy bud. If there are brown discoloration or cracks on the branch, we cut below, over the highest healthy bud. Thanks to this, strong shoots sprinkled with flowers will grow. It should also be remembered that each wound formed after cutting branches must be smelled with a gardening ointment.
