Blooming roses are a real eye-catcher in the garden.
After flowering, however, the plants must be well cared for and pruned so that it stays that way.
It is not for nothing that the rose is often considered the queen of flowers.
It looks elegant, defensive and forms beautiful flowers.
They look good in a bouquet, as a single blossom or can be well preserved.
But when the garden rose has faded, it needs a little care.
Roses faded: This care is now on the beautiful plants
Roses bloom either once a year or several times.
Roses that bloom more often
then usually open new flowers again from August.
The main flowering time is still in June and July, so that the first roses have already faded in July.
Compared to the sea of blossoms in front of it, that can look a bit dreary and sad, garden fans are now also faced with a new task.
Because the plant needs new strength.
Roses faded: wild roses do not need pruning
First of all, you should know exactly which roses you have in your garden. Fans of natural gardens will, for example, rely on unfilled flowers and dog rose, apple rose, pike rose and similar wild roses. They only bloom once, attracting insects and then rose hips immediately form. You can usually recognize them shortly after flowering. Garden fans shouldn't use scissors when they see wild roses that bloom once, but rather let the fruits ripen. A maximum of thinning is necessary. The animal world benefits from this, but rose hips can also be used in the kitchen and are extremely healthy.
You should, however, bring the
shrub roses once in bloom
into shape
.
Rambler roses or cascade roses need a slightly more special cut, which you can ideally show when you buy.
It is important to cut the right shoots to the right length.

Roses fading: This is the kind of care that roses need more often
The situation is different with roses, which bloom more often a year.
Hybrid tea roses, dwarf roses and all other modern varieties benefit from
pruning in summer
because it stimulates new flower formation.
The so-called cleaning out is quite time-consuming, depending on the size and defensive strength of the plant, so you can do without it with particularly branched ground cover.
Overall, you should cut as follows for roses that bloom more often:
If what has faded is not cut off, the rose will put unnecessary strength into the old blossoms.
Cutting back stimulates the formation of new flowers and promotes health.
You also prevent the plant from aging.
The cut is about half a centimeter above the first complete leaf.
A complete sheet consists of more than five individual sheets.
Cut at an angle to prevent damage from rainwater.
Only cut on warm, dry days.
If the shoots are very thin or stunted, you can cut deeper.
The cut can vary depending on the type of rose, so be sure to find out about your plant beforehand.
Use secateurs or some other clean object.
You should never tear off or kink the shoots.
The next larger cut follows in spring, but old flowers should be removed again in autumn.
If you have
roses
that are in
permanent bloom
, you can already see the new shoot and should cut just above it.
Ideally, you should check all your roses regularly anyway and remove any that has faded immediately.
Roses usually recover well after the correct pruning and bloom again soon, usually after around six weeks.
In and of itself, omitting the pruning would not be a drama, but this would cause the plant to age slowly and thin, long shoots are more prone to wind breakage.
Be sure to wear thick gloves when pruning.
Roses are defensible if you don't have any specimens without spines.
The spikes can not only lead to superficial scratches, but also to inflammation.
In addition to pruning during flowering,
regular fertilization
is also
important in order to give the plant enough strength.
If the location of the rose is correct, you will enjoy it for many years.
