I think the majority of us love a beautiful garden but some of us don't or won't put the efforts into having a flower garden due to the work that it can be.
Some of the most beautiful plants with aromatic blooms would be roses.
When it comes to maintaining the plants, Rose Bush Pruning can be a sticky situation.
When beginning your garden or simply adding plants to your yard, it does take some thought, even if not planned, to choose what type of plants will be planted.
Are we looking for lots of color, shade or ease of maintenance? Depending upon the area in which you live will also be a factor in which plants are chosen; of course, your local home improvement or nursery will only carry what will thrive in the local region.
Roses are one of the most popular plants to have in ones garden or yard; they can provide a bounty of gorgeous blossoms and fragrance to enjoy.
As with all plants, there is some sort of maintenance that is required.
Roses are very hearty and can survive almost anything.
If left unattended, the rose plant will grow depending upon circumstances that they must live in.
Just as your hair requires a cut or trim every so often, so does your rose plant.
Rose Bush Pruning is not a difficult task but it can be under and overdone.
To ensure that when you initiate a cut, the trimmers or cutters that you use are sharp.
If using a dull blade, the cut will not be clean and will take you several attempts to remove the unwanted branch.
When making the cut, ensure that the cut is specific to what you expect as a bad cut can harm the plant; harmful in the fact that the plant will take longer to heal itself from the bad cut as it would a clean cut.
Remember the example of getting your hair cut, a bad cut will take longer to be corrected than a clean cut.
Many people think that when pruning, every branch needs a snipping.
This is not the case.
When pruning, which should be done only when needed, the purpose is to cut off any spent blooms and any dead branches.
When cutting off a spent bloom, the best place to cut is right above the first cluster of leaves on the stem below the spent bloom.
A dead branch is one that will not bend or give when bent, it simply breaks.
If you do have a dead branch, cut back to where you think it may still have life and cut.
When looking at the cross-cut of the freshly cut branch, if it has a green tint then that portion still has life; therefore, no need to cut anymore off.
The simple act of Rose Bush Pruning should be done in the spring when the plant in coming out of hibernation.
Trim only, do not cut it back and do not trim on a regular basis.
If pruning is done more often than needed, the plant will not have time to recoup and grow.
This will result in practically zero blooms.
Once the pruning has been done, there will be that occasion in which you will want to beautify your table.
This is when you will want to cut a bouquet of beautiful stems to enjoy as your centerpiece!
