GARDENING ADVICE FOR THE COMMITTED & UNCOMMITTED ALIKE

Keep the Rose blooms coming

Keep the blooms coming on your Roses by regularly cutting out old flowers.

You should cut to just above a leaf with five ‘leaflets’ – where you should see a small nub (where arrow is pointing in the photo) also known as a bud eye.

This will become the new shoot, so pick one that is facing away from other stems to avoid congestion.

If your Rose has clusters of flowers, like this pictured Anna Ford, you might need to cut out quite a chunk of growth, as pictured, if there are no more buds.
