🌹Valentine's Day is for loving on your roses!
In this video, our plant buyer, Kirk Alston demonstrates how to cut back your plants and gives some pointers for you to follow.
Video Highlights:
- Train back to the most important canes until the plant looks like an open umbrella.
- Know that it will look drastic but the plant will recover.
- Snip bigger branches with loppers to clear some space and make the plant easier to work with.
- Leave 12-18 inches off the ground.
- Cut small branches as they won't produce anything this year.
- Clear any intertwining canes at the base of the plant. The plant will recover and put out new canes, replacing those removed.
- These new canes will then support the dominant new growth.
- Pruning back drastically will encourage rejuvenation, and will get rid of any lingering black spot or any old diseased canes.
- Finish up by weeding around your plant, fertilizing with a high phosphorus fertilizer (Buds and Blooms 6-8-4 or Sustane 4-6-4) and mulching.
- Your plants should then be good until fall!
