Sharpen those shears, rose pruning’s here By LORNA BONHAM Sharpen the shears and dust off those loppers, if not already done, the roses need to be pruned. Even if they are still blooming in Tehama County’s mild climate. Why do we prune roses? Each year a rose plant produces new canes from the base of the plant. These canes flower well for two or three years, then weaken and die. The plants will therefore flower better and resist disease if old canes are removed annually, along with any dead and cross- ing branches and those which are very thin and discolored. The canes should be reduced in size by about one third with three to six canes extending out from the “bud union” - that bul- bous knob from which all the canes grow. Prune all modern roses, hybrid teas, along with old roses that bloom repeatedly. (Old roses that bloom once a year should be pruned after they bloom in spring.) Use clean, sharp tools such as pruning shears, lopping shears and a small, fine-toothed saw for cutting woody canes. Be sure to wear gloves of leather (or some other sturdy material) as well as long sleeves and pants to avoid scratches from thorns. Although the task may appear daunting, it really isn’t difficult. Don’t be afraid to prune. Even if you whack away too much, there’s a better than even chance the rose will recover. Try to create a bush that is vase shaped or open in the center. Remove crossing canes and twiggy growth, any- thing under the diameter of a pencil, unless you are pruning miniatures. Remove growth toward the center of the bush so that air can circulate freely and help prevent disease. The proper way to cut is at a 45-degree angle about 1/4 inch above an outside bud eye. An out- side eye is chosen so that the bush will maintain its vase shape somewhat. By choosing the direction of the bud eye, you can choose where the main branches will grow. Your roses will thank you for a good pruning and you can enjoy being outdoors this time of year. Red Bluff Garden Club meetings are open to the public.
