What You Should Know About Rose Pruning
Many rose gardeners are impatient to understand the required time frame and find it tough to wait for their plants to be mature enough.
Since pruning is over emphasized in a lot of websites, they do not know that waiting for the best time is more important in caring for roses.
They are too excited with the task of having to cut unwanted stems for it to grow more that they over do it and that is even worse.
Although a number of botanical magazines have repeatedly provided information on when to start doing this, they seem to not be able to wait for that season.
I understand how frustrating this can be if you are caring for roses.
You want to execute your role already, thinking about how your flowers will bloom and escape the biggest fear of any grower, which is the plant's dormancy.
If you think of it, it is harder for those who are caring for roses in warmer areas.
Plants are more likely not to go to winter dormancy, which is where the best temp is supposed to be.
The normal winter time that's supposed to be at early November, might be moved to up to near Christmas already.
Pruning in autumn may lead to late flush of growth because it is becoming very vulnerable due to the cut stems.
Though your plant is already looking leggy or is starting to over grow, it is not advisable to prune it prematurely.
This activity in caring for roses is so crucial because it is hard for them to determine the perfect time for this.
It even depends on the specie of rose you have planted.
There are those who have high value in pruning that they really have to regularly do that at the right time where as others do not really care whether or not you are able to do it.
Let me clear that, it is just not that demanding of your time that you may prune this at a later time already, meaning at around February in which the snow will still be present and it will seal off the stem you have cut out with the frost.
There are a lot of standards or protocols for these but bear in mind that they are to be considered well in caring for roses.
So long as they are pruned by the end of March when the plant starts its cycle once more, it is fine.
