I’m new to roses and gardening in general….Any tips for pruning?
I live in an apartment, so I am limited to patio gardening. I have minature roses in an 8 inch pot, and a ‘Victory’ rose (med. sized, also in 8 inch pot) both in Miracle Grow potting soil, in full sun watered daily or as needed.
The mini’s are doing great, I’ve had them for weeks now and they look even better than they did when I bought them, no questions there.
The med sized, ‘Victory’ roses, I have only had for a few days now, they were budding when i bought them and now fully bloomed for the most part. I live in southern california, so frost pruning is not necessary (during the colder months I intend to leave them outside during the day for full sun, and bring them inside at night)
My questions are, when should I prune? And how exactly should it be done?
Also any other tips you think I might need to know.
(Please understand that I am new to gardening in general so if you could explain in detailed lay-man’s terms it would be greatly appreciated.)
Thanks
Prune in the winter months, but only prune if they have actually grown too big. When you cut the blooms, use pruning shears or scissors and cut the stem just above the closest cluster of 5 leaves from thee bloom. Clip the blooms as soon as they reach full size, and the roses will bloom all year in S ca. I have blooms from March to November in Atlanta. Have 200 rose bushes and 14 rose trees.
