When To Prune
When And How To Prune Roses
Rose Bushes that are not pruned can grow into large tangled
messes with small and inferior blooms. The following should
allow you to grow an attractive well shaped and sized bush with
large lovely blooms.
Note: This article is about Pruning Bushes, not climers, trees,
ramblers or pillers.
Pruning at the right time can be just as important as how you
prune. Bushes should not be pruned untill they begin comming out
of dormancy. This can be as early as January in warm weather
areas to as late as April in very cold areas. In colder areas do
not prune untill all danger of frost is past.
Using the proper tools is also very important. You need a good
set of pruning shears, the type that have one side for cutting
and one side for supporting. The shears must be sharp, otherwise
they can tear your canes instead of cutting them. For older
larger canes you will also need a good sharp fine toothed curved
cutting saw that is lubricated. It is also a good idea to have
some type of pruning paint or sealer to seal larger cuts. Do not
forget good heavy canvas or leather gloves that can protect your
hands.
Do not cut canes straight across. All cuts should be at an
angle of between 40 to 65 degrees. Always make sure that the
shear's cutting blade is on the lower side of the cane in order
to insure a clean cut. This way any injury to the Plant will be
on the upper part of the cane which will be discarded.
How much you prune depends on what you are trying to accomplish
and on how well established the Plant is. Moderate pruning,
leaving 5 or more canes of up to 24 inches in length, will
develope a large bush with nice moderate sized blooms. Light
pruning, canes 3 to 4 feet in length, will produce an even
larger bush but with smaller blooms on shorter stems and is good
for newer or weaker plants. Heavy pruning, 3 to 4 canes from 6
to 12 inches in length will produce the largest, showiest
blooms, however if the plant is too new or weak you may end up
reducing the plants life span.
When pruning, remove all suckers as these grow from the root
stock which is different from the grafted bush and may
eventually take over and kill the bush. Cut out all week,
spindly and deformed canes, and if possible cut out canes
growing toward the center of the bush. If canes cross each other
remove the weaker one. Proper shaping makes for a lovelier bush
and allows proper air circulation which makes for a healthier
plant.
Try to make all cuts down to a cane or if necessary down to
about one quarter inch from a strong outside bud union or eye,
the eye is where new growth stems from.
After pruning paint all major cuts with a sealer in order to
aid in healing and to help keep out insects and diseases
