Rich Rose
My roses are crap!! How do you prune and when so that next year they will be as nice as my neighbors?
We have several rose bushes...we live at 5300ft above sea level and came here from the desert, so I've never had roses before. I cut the dead bulbs off as they go bad, but last fall never 'pruned' any of the bushes as I've heard you should. This year we had about 1/3 the return of roses and actually one whole bush never bloomed...and it's our largest one? I went and bought a really rich mulch and turned the soil beneath each bush about 3 weeks ago before adding the fresh soil hoping that the nutrients might help...it did somewhat, but all the people up here have roses and they have sooooo many more than us on each bush....tons...and they are soooooo big too. How do I get my rose bushes to produce like that for next year...and when and how is the best way to prune??? Thanks all!
I have had a few rose bushes for only 3 years and I've learned a lot in that time. While they're growing, I give them plenty of water and they also get Miracle Grow every three weeks.
You definitely should read up on annual pruning, and see if you can find out when the best time to do this in your area. It isn't difficult, but it takes courage because you have to remove so much at one time. The main thing is that you want the new branches to grow outward, so cut above an outward-facing bud or shoot. I had one gardener who would cut all the branches down to about 2 inches. then when new branches started, he would just cut off the ones that were not growing towards the outside.
I agree that talking to neighbors is a good idea. They will have different methods. Don't get overwhelmed if you get contradictory information -- that happens a lot with gardening. Like, some people say cut off a lot of stem when removing a dead bloom, and others say cut off a little. Both methods have their advantages.
