Dress appropriately when pruning roses. Loose clothing can easily get caught on thorns. It is best to wear a smooth raincoat so the thorns do not get stuck in your clothing.
Also get optimal protection with the right gardening gloves. A good glove fits well and is puncture-resistant. That way, you protect yourself against irritations and accidents.
Always prune roses with sharp pruning shears. Then, the cuts in the plant will be nice and smooth and the plant will be less susceptible to disease.
Pruning roses is best done in March as soon as the weather is above freezing during the day. You can also prune roses later in the year, but then they also bloom later. Do not prune them any earlier, because then the flowers are susceptible to disease or the shoots may freeze during night frost.
Roses are in full bloom in June. The time to enjoy your work in the garden. Remove the faded flowers so that the plant does not put energy into the formation of hips but into growing new flowers.
Enjoy your thorn bushes for years by rejuvenating them. Pruning keeps the plant healthy. If you let the thorn bush grow wild, it will not live as long. As with a rose bush, it’s best to prune a thorn bush in the spring. During the summer months, you can cut away new shoots that are growing in an undesirable direction.
Do you have a thorn bush as a hedge? Use hedge trimmers to trim it about 3 times in the summer.
