How to prolong the blooming of roses in the garden
After the roses have bloomed, it is important to get rid of the faded flowers in time. Thanks to this, the plant will retain its strength to bloom again.
The next important step is to prune the plant correctly. As a rule, the top of the shoot is cut through 4 leaves from the bud to the leaf growing outward.
However, the type of pruning itself differs depending on the plant variety. For example, hybrid tea roses and floribundas need to be shaped into a bowl with an empty center.
Immediately after pruning, the rose needs fertilizing so that it can form new flowers. In particular, the rose needs nitrogen to form new shoots, and phosphorus and potassium to grow new flowers.
Therefore, it is recommended to apply complex fertilizers that contain all of the above nutrients.
