Rose care in spring - tips for pruning

The forsythias show you when the right time has come to prune the roses. After they start to bloom, it's time to prepare your roses for spring. Continue what you started in the fall after flowering.

• You should use really sharp secateurs, so not only will the cut be clean, but the stems will be protected.
• Always cut approx. a finger's breadth above a bud.
• Make sure you cut as straight as possible to keep the wound small. At the same time, a small slope helps that the rainwater can run off the cut and does not penetrate directly into the wound.
• The long, angled cut only applies to roses that you put in the vase so that they can hold more water.
• First, cut out the frozen, brown, and damaged stems and plant parts.
• Only then should you take care of the topiary. Be careful not to cut back the strong shoots far. You weaken the plant with it.
• You should cut back the weaker shoots so that the roses can put their strength into the buds and flowers.
• It is also important that you know the class of your rose. The groups of roses are subdivided into bed roses, hybrid tea roses, multiple and single blooming climbing roses, wild roses, single and multiple blooming shrub roses and small shrub roses. Each of these varieties is cut and cared for differently.
• So if you want to have a rose garden, you will have to read a lot of literature to learn about the specifics and needs of each variety.

I wish you success!
