On your marks ready TAILLE!!!

On sunny days it is important to do a small spring pruning to boost their flowering.

“Botanical” roses do not necessarily require regular maintenance pruning. Their flowering takes place on the twigs of the following year.

The size of the roses will only be irregular, spaced 3 to 5 years apart. It will simply be necessary to thin out the clumps that have become dense, by completely removing the dead or excess branches. If properly maintained, a rosebush will regenerate much more easily and last for a long time.

For upwelling shrub roses, their size should be considered as a summer flowering shrub. It is therefore necessary to take care of their size at the end of winter by leaving a framework adequate for their development. This will give you a good annual vegetation, a greater number of flowers and a better distribution of flowering.

A little advice in addition, if you prune your roses regularly enough, by removing the wilted flowers, you will avoid the formation of fruits and seeds. This will allow your rising rose to flower again.
