Prune side bud: cut off the extra buds and side buds, and only keep the new buds and one main bud of the main branch. Pruning branches: pruning disease and insect branches, weak branches, Cross branches, dead branches, repeated branches, etc. in winter and spring.

I. trim the flowers

After flowering, cut off the flowers and the two compound leaves under the flowers to avoid the weak branches of leaf bud germination in time, resulting in abnormal flowers and waste of nutrients. Or you can cut the withered flowers from the place about 10 cm away from the root, trim the yellow leaves and redundant branches, and let the new buds fully absorb nutrients to promote germination.

2. Trim the side buds.

Roses don't bloom in every bud, so make a choice in time. Keep the good ones and cut the bad ones in time. In general, only leave 2-3 new buds on the main branch, and remove all the others. Also, keep a main bud, and remove all the side buds to avoid wasting nutrients.
