Getting more flowers from your roses



Whether you grow rose bushes, climbers, carpets, or miniatures, we all love more flowers from our roses!

We will show you the steps to get the most flowers from all your favorite roses, from wild roses to award-winning fragrant hybrid tea roses.


Secret # 1: Choose the right roses


Hardness


Know your zone and choose tough roses that will allow the roses to thrive even in your worst weather.


Growth rate & habits


Roses come in all shapes and sizes. Climbing rose varieties can be over 20 feet tall, while miniature roses can only be 6 inches tall!


Secret # 2: Plant roses properly


Location


Roses need the sun to bloom. Bottom line. Plant roses in sunlight for more than 6 hours for lush flowers.


Interval


Let the sunlight come in! Roses with plenty of space and access to flower-producing daylight will bloom more than a crowded, sheltered rose.


Secret # 3: Water table for roses


For newly planted roses, water every second day. Installed roses should be watered deeply once a week, depending on the weather.



 Super Secret: Allow your roses to dry slightly to signal the bushes to push out more buds. With fresh rosebuds, water well and water deeply for lush luxurious flowers.


Secret # 4: Feeding Roses


Time is everything


Provide extra nutrition for your famous flowering roses in early spring, early June, and late June. Stop fertilizing your rose bushes in late summer to prepare them for winter.


Secret # 5: Pruning roses


Timing


Roses that bloom on old trees: Roses like climbers or heirlooms only bloom on old trees. These roses have an abundant flowering season, usually in the spring. Prune these roses after flowering. This will keep the rose bushes tidy while giving the plants time to create strong growth for next year’s flower show.


Fresh flowering roses: First, prune from late winter to early spring to maximize re-flowering roses. Next, Deadhead re-blooming roses with a commitment to promoting continued flowering.


Deadheading: Rule 5.


Always place your cuttings on top of the leaves with 5 or more leaflets, even if they are scissors or bruises. It promotes growth from strong, mature rosacea branches. Weak or young branches have only 3 leaflets and successive growths do not bloom.


Secret # 6: Prevent pests and diseases


Nothing leaves the rosebud before its full flowering glory like insect pests or rose diseases. Choose pest and disease-resistant varieties, especially if you know your area is prone to some rose problems.



Mulching


Mulch provides nutrients, retains moisture, and most importantly, reduces water spraying on the leaves. As a result, it helps prevent diseases caused by roses.


Sub-planting


In addition to the spectacular appearance, supplementary plants for roses can help repair the nutrients in the soil that promote healthy, happy roses.


In addition, subspecies can prevent problem pests or attract beneficial insects that keep problem pests such as aphids in the bay.


Plants that grow well with roses include lavender, allium, foxgloves, Shasta daisies, marigolds, and more.


Increase the power of your rose flower
