The end of winter is an important day for lovers of gardening, and it is time to prune the plant that gives us the most beautiful flower garden: the rose. The good weather we have enjoyed since the beginning of the year has meant that the month of March is the ideal time to get down to work. If we advance the pruning, we run the risk of frost late February, and if we delay too long, the flowering will Rosal and resentful at the beginning of the summer heat.
However, in regions with mild climate, pruning can be done ahead of time. Each has its own peculiarities Rosal when the scissors put him, so we know in advance all the details. Rafael Salmeron, director of The Garden Center Penot, has clear advantages of good sanitation Rosales: “this pruning is intended to improve growth, flowering vegetation and Rosal, improving its strength and balancing new and old wood the foot. ” A proper pruning is synonymous with abundant flowers and strong in the spring.
Rose standing areas
The Rose standing areas are the most common and easy to find. The bush varieties should be pruned as long as glass, eradicating the central branches and those that may be damaging to other stronger. When cutting a branch or other, look you in thickness: if it is small (like a pen) makes three buds, and if they are thicker, six. Always prune a bud facing outward, so that you gain Rosal cupped. It is important that the cut is always oblique, thus avoiding the accumulation of fluid. Try to have sharp scissors.
On the other hand, vine climbers and have a number of particularities, as Rafael says Salmeron, “climbing roses need more severe pruning early to ‘educate’ to form the basic structure that will cover our pergola , threshing or arc. then be reduced to maintain a balance of timber and remove suckers and branches that cross. ” We must ensure that the sprouts grow as horizontally as possible.
