The optimal date for cutting roses seems to be mid-April, because then it is neither too cold nor too warm. We perform the cutting on a clear day.Bedding (multi-flowered) and large-flowered roses develop flower shoots in the spring season, so a cut can be made at a height of 20-30 cm.Old, tangled shoots can be cut at the base.
Repeated flowering bush roses (park roses) should be superficially removed, first of all removing old and damaged shoots.Additionally, we cut out a few younger shoots. If shrubs are to maintain a compact habit, their shoots can be shortened by half.Repeated flowering climbing roses are pruned in spring.
Old shoots are completely removed, young side shoots are shortened to 4-5 eyelets.Small bush roses, better known as ground cover roses, are pruned every 3-5 years to a height of 20-30 cm.We shine bushy, standard and climbing roses (also ramblers) immediately after flowering in summer. Then we remove all sick, old and dead shoots. These roses need moderate pruning and cleaning.
Popular large-flowered roses
Probably the most popular group of roses are large-flowered roses. They have large flowers and come in a variety of colors.Large-flowered roses are perfect as cut flowers, their shoots usually reach over a meter in height.
The shrubs are unfortunately not very resistant to frost, so they need to be mounded, and they are more often affected by diseases (especially gray mold). For the garden you can recommend, among others red 'Burgundy', pale pink 'Flamingo', white 'Fryderyk Chopin', purple 'Mainzer Fastnacht'.
