Key insights about video Gardening With Hank - Winter Rose Pruning

🌿 Spring trimming is often considered one of the hardest and most mysterious parts of Rose care, but it can actually be one of the easiest and most enjoyable parts.

🌹 The purpose of spring trimming is to clean up the plant, remove dead and weak branches, and allow the plant's energy to go towards producing good, strong flowers.

💀 If we don't trim the roses, they will be filled up with dead and weak branches, which will result in smaller flowers.

🌱 Spring trimming also involves removing any disease-infected branches and branches that are crossing or rubbing against each other.

🌿 When trimming, it's important to cut down to outside facing buds and trim the canes to a height no taller than your knee.

⚔️ It's essential to make clean cuts and remove all dead leaves and debris from around the plant to prevent the overwintering of fungus spores.

👩‍🌾 The work of a gardener is never done, but taking care of your roses through spring trimming will result in healthier and more beautiful flowers.
