Pruning during the dormant period: Keep two to four buds on the branches of the current year, and cut off all the rest. Moderate pruning is required. Pruning during the growing season: Prune out branches that are too dense and affect ventilation, or branches that are seriously affected by diseases and insect pests. These two pruning methods are used together to ensure that the flowers bloom luxuriantly.

Pruning rose flowers is a relatively rigorous task and is divided into two modes. One is pruning during the dormant period after the leaves fall, and the other is pruning during the growth period. Prune during the growing season. Pruning during the dormant period after the leaves fall is to retain two to four buds on the current year's branches and cut off all the rest, which requires moderate heavy pruning. Rose flowers grow in new buds in spring, so we prune them more heavily. Strong branches will sprout in the second year and better flowers will bloom in spring. If the pruning is not timely or the pruning intensity is insufficient in winter, the second year will be damaged. The branches that sprout in spring are thin and weak, resulting in weak flowers.
