Thank you. I learned something new today. I knew about cutting at the 5 leafs but didn't know about watching for which direction it was facing. Great tip. Just in time. Dead heading my roses is on my to do list for this week. Love watching your videos. Your a great speaker and speak clear and at a nice speed that I can listen to it all without having to keep replaying it. Thanks again.

I have grown roses for years and when I first started the instructions in all the books about how to cut back and the angles were so confusing....you gave the best and easiest to understand instructions that I have heard...it's so simple and so many people make the explanation for too complicated....this is super for new Rosarians to follow

Laura, you're like a flower fairy to me ❤ your garden is so beautiful

Perfect timing! I have several new roses bushes that I need to dead head! Thanks!-Cara

I LOVE those purple flowers next to the roses. Such an appealing look together. 💜🌹

This was so helpful. There are two established roses at my new home. I had to cut back one of them in the spring. I couldn’t stand by and look at it all roped up and over grown! It’s doing great. The other one bloomed beautifully. I wasn’t sure what to do. Now I know exactly what to do! Thank you!! 😊

Never been this early before. Have a nice day everyone

Laura, that was amazing, thank you! Common sense and I really have these amazing moments of AHA! when someone, such as yourself, comes along and explains something so well that I can't help but to make sense of the obvious 😅. I mean, cut the stem back at a set of 5 leaves (knew that, and doing that) that are growing outward instead of into the center of the plant. 🤔😊🤭 ....and there it is... Aha! Don't hesitate to make videos that you think everyone already knows. Being open to learn different ways to do something you could do in your sleep is just as important as learning something new.

Thank you I’ve just run out and re pruned mine to 5 leaves! 😁

I love watching your garden and your family grow. I have the prettiest flowers and vegetables this year due to all your inspiration and guidance. I find myself searching for the same varieties of plants that you have used . It makes a difference when you know what they will look like from watching your videos. I am enjoying the best gardening year of my life thanks to you and your sweet family.💞

I absolutely love the wrought iron and stone fence behind you in the beginning of this video. I would love to add a feature like this in my garden. It has so much character.

I remember that your first rose deadhead video is what got me into gardening and lead me to pursuing a career in landscaping. Thank you Laura for being an inspiration 💚

Just ordered my shrub rake and kangaroo bag. Ready to deadhead when they arrive on Friday! I have been snapping the spent blooms off here and there, but now need to do the whole stem where the clusters are done blooming. 🌹

We would love to see your parents garden again we missed last season we don’t want to miss it again this year. Please Laura take us with you touring your parents garden ♥️♥️ I bet all of us wants to see their gardens and please don’t forget about to continue with videos in Spanish please

Years ago I had 12 rose bushes, and you explained dead heading so clearly, should've known it then. 🌹🐝🇿🇦

Your timing is perfect. I just purchased a few rose bushes and looked at them wondering “ now what do I do”.

Love that you did this video again, one of my very first garden answer videos 7 years ago was trimming basil and dead heading roses 🌹 love you’re videos so much, I’ve been gardening ever since. I work at a greenhouse now and I feel like it’s all thanks to your inspiration keeping me going ♥️

I used to love deadheading roses in the summer. Not just because of how easy it is, the satisfaction of a clean rose bush look with fresh blooms, but the fragrance that would surround me while going from rose to rose! With the warm air... it was one of my favorite gardening chores! Except once, when I disturbed a wasp's nest and got stung, a LOT! but yeah... this video brought all of that back 🥰 beautiful to see your varieties blooming in this single video, thank you 💞

A pleasure, as always! Those pink roses with the delphiniums are stunning!!

Such a pleasure to learn from you. I remember my Grandmother telling me when I was a child, you cut roses on an angle for flower arrangements so they can more easily take up water. It was one of those moments. Sweet.

This is so informative and now I'm not concerned about cutting back the really long canes to help reshape the plants. Thank you so much and I am so glad you enjoyed your holiday weekend with your family. 🙂

Good Morning! 🌞🌹 My Grandmothers & Mom taught me how deadhead roses & fertilize! Then caring for my Mom's roses was one of my tasks growing up! 😊🌹❤️💚🌿

Oh, how I love roses. Alas, here in the South they are very high maintenance. Our high humidity really affects them - lots of fungal diseases (black spot) and the japanese beetles will desimate them overnight. So much work, but oh they are so lovely and fragrant. Every year I say nope ... every year I buy another (or two, or three) ... but that's what we gardeners do - we keep trying !!

This was so helpful! I learned some new things. I just added 3 new rose bushes to my garden this year, so thank you for this video!

Although I don’t have roses, I learned a lot from this one. Thanks Laura

Thanks so much for this info! I couldn't understand why all of my roses are growing into themselves! Now I know!

I learned a lot. Thanks Laura

I am currently the caretaker of a neighbors garden, after she passed at the end of May. Part of this info I knew, but didn't realize about the directional nature until this video. I've been watching your videos for a long time, so no surprise I learned something from you. :) As we deal in Ohio, with the Canada smoke, I'll be deadheading her roses. Thanks for all the help over the years, and all the entertainment (because I don't grow nearly as much as you guys, and it's still entertaining.)

So helpful! My mother in laws roses need some love and this is the info I needed!🌺

Kudos to Ken for the pretty piano music on this video. 💜💜

I helped my mom with her 60+ roses of different varieties for years…we used to put a drop of Elmer’s glue on the cut stem to prevent disease…my favorite rose was Double Delight! This year I planted At Last…gorgeous peach color!

Very helpful! I didn’t know about the leaf number thing so I’ve just been making random cuts.

Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I am always afraid to deadhead my roses. Mine are the continuous flowering type bushes and they are so pretty, I don't want to ruin them. I will feel so much more confident now, all because of you! You and Aaron are so inspiring to me. I set up a whole irrigation system this year following the steps in your videos and my garden has never looked so good. Even my husband mentioned how good the yard is looking!! Thank you for being you and being such an inspiration to us.

Thank you for this! These days I prefer instructional videos in your gardens close to your home. They’re more interesting and inspiration is everywhere. I see that you’re at last roses are huge. Mine have remained very short over the past two seasons and the blooms last for only a day or two. I plan to move them around the next week and see if that helps. I think they don’t like the current location. Thank you again. Oh and loved this format. 😊

This was the perfect video at the perfect time! I recently started working at a Nursery/Garden center and one of my tasks is to dead head the roses for sale. I am thrilled to say I must have been paying attention in a previous video of yours because I see I am doing it correctly. Thank you Laura!! 🌹

Again with the piano!!! Love it!!! I’m just going to assume it’s Laura playing 😊 I was hoping Aaron would grab my comment (asking if it was Laura playing on the garden tour video) for the recap and say if it was Laura playing or not, but I’m going with yes, it is!

Glad that you had an amazing time with family over the holiday weekend 💞 I got my GA fix by watching your snow apocalypse videos 🤪 I know, right? During the summer? 😅

This subject brought me to you and your channel Laura. I Googled how to deadhead roses some years ago and up popped Garden Answer. Hooked ever since x

Thank you! Just bought a 1930s home this past year and it has about 9 beautiful mature rose bushes. This answered a lot of questions for me!!

I've got 60 rose bushes and I walk through them every day and dead head a long the way. Mine are young and not near as nice as yours but I enjoy watching them grow.

Laura you are the best at teaching in a way where I actually retain the information! I just went outside in the rain and deadheaded my roses and am so excited that I've finally learned how to properly deadhead roses after all these years! 🥀

The Morden roses are from The Morden Research Centre here in Manitoba, they are beautiful and very hardy! Thanks for the information you provide the garden community, you are an invaluable resource to us all. I couldn’t do without my “ Laura Fix”. ☺️🇨🇦

Thank you,I need to get some done on my roses and was so happy when I watched this morning 😊

Your rose tips this season have been great 👍 - thank you! I purchased a little cottage over the winter that has 12+ very old rose bushes (50+yrs old) which I didn’t really know how to care for. Your advice has helped tremendously as I get to know this new (old) garden.

Thank you. I was just thinking last night that I miss videos showing how to do plant maintenance and comparison of different garden tools (gorilla carts, ladders etc). I learned so much from this videos in the past.

Wow, I had not researched Roses yet. This was extremely informative. Thank you.

Hi Laura and Aaron! I don't have roses, but I passed on your rose pruning tips to my daughter last year and her roses are looking great! Thank you so much for sharing!

Good morning, Laura, from Windermere Florida zone 9b USA 🇺🇸 Excellent advice for beginners and great reminders for seasoned Gardeners 👍👩‍🌾👍 Happy Gardening Everyone 🌹🥀🌹

Great information Laura! Every video of yours has given me the confidence to do garden chores the correct way. Now my family defers to me with all kinds of garden questions!!

Oh well done Laura, I was muttering that you were doing such a good job at deadheading the roses in the previous video. Always useful to recap in detail especially for people new to your channel or growing roses.

You deserve a day off! Looks great!

Learn something new every day. I'm going to have to go look at my roses and see what they are doing!

Good Wednesday morning, Laura! What a FANTASTIC spot to start your video in! It is wonderful to see that gate behind you! It makes a beautiful backdrop!! What beautiful, soft piano music you picked, Ken! Was it Laura playing? In my mind, I see Laura sitting at her Steinway gently and gracefully tickling the ivory.👩🎹🎹🎹🎹 Oh glorious sakes, trimming up your peachy roses in front of the Hollyhocks, enables more view of those amazing hollyhocks!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩😍🤗 Yaaaaaay, I am soooo happy to hear that you did give yourselves a break over the holiday weekend, and spent time with family!🤗🥰 I find family time restores ones' soul.🤗 👋🐈Hi Russell! I saw you spraying/marking your territory, the salvia. Keeping the neighborhood cats alerted, huh? This video was EXTREMELY HELPFUL to me; I learned that I was not deadheading my roses off at the proper spot. Hence, why I am not getting new growth. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Laura for that particular tidbit of advice. I also learned that I can lightly prune my bushes in the Summer. I have 2 gorgeous David Austin Scentimental Rose bushes. The roses are glorious and no 2 are the same. Have a Blessed and Beautiful day everyone! Kimberley F in Avondale, AZ (Zone 9b) 🌞🌵💞

Thanks for this video! I bought my first rose bush this year and have had trouble finding a good video on deadheading. You all are the best and hope you had a great 4th of July weekend!

No wonder I have a few wonky rose branches growing. Great information, thank you!

Thanks for the deadheading lesson. I knew about the 5 leaf cut but never thought about the direction of the leaf growth. 🌹🌹✂️

Oh my gosh this is going to be a game changer for my roses! I never knew how to do it properly.

Very clear and helpful summary of rose deadheading. Thank you for the beautiful scenery too!

Hi Laura. Great information on pruning various roses. Your roses are looking beautiful. Happy gardening!😀👍

How brave you are, deadheading without gloves on😊

Lovely roses 😊🌹 My collection of almost 60 rosebushes- David Austin, Kordes, Tantau etc were decimated by rodants this year 😢

Thank you Laura...this was super informative! I think as a gardener, I have been so afraid to grow roses just because I didn't know how to prune...❤🌺

I would love more videos on roses! Especially regarding pests and sawfly’s 😭

I am not someone who comments often. But I wanted to tell you how much I absolutely love your channel! Your explanations are clear, you tell all the varieties, and well, I just love what you do. Thank you so much! I am new to "adult" gardening. I gardened with my parents (mostly vegetable, but some perennials as well), but I was too young to incorporate the needed details. Now that my children are more grown up (ak! 14 and 10!!!!) I actually have some time and bandwidth to want to garden. I SO appreciate your detailed information. It is my favorite thing to watch everyday so I can learn

When someone learns something new and actually Get It…they always say OOOOOOHHHHH Hah I had one of those moments about the 5 leaves facing out Ooooohhhhhh 😲 🤗 🥀

Thank you for the rose deadheading instructions. Very helpful! Heading out soon to deadhead my rosebushes to outward facing, 5 leaves.

This was so helpful! It just came about a week late for me. I went in blind on pruning one of my roses and apparently did everything wrong 😂. Y’all keep your fingers crossed that I didn’t kill it. I’m definitely following these tips for the other roses in the yard though 😉

This was such a helpful guide and reminder to deadhead and fertilize your roses! Thanks for sharing

I learned a lot in this one (well, I learn a lot in every video, but :) the "direction" of the 5 leaves was new for me. I hope I can get my roses to look a little better now.

VERY helpful, thank you! I'm happy that you were enjoying the weekend with your family. 😊

I have been a horticulturist for almost 20 years and 10 of those years worked for a specialist rose grower. I watched one of your rose pruning videos a couple of months ago and had never heard of 5 leaf pruning! I knew about outward facing buds and angling the cut etc, but I decided to try it on my own roses and also my clients roses. What a difference! The flowering is so much more profuse. I was always taught to cut a lot of the stem off (50%) but now I prune just below the hip (to a 5 leaf) and difference is amazing!

Very helpful!!!! I’ve always steered away from roses for this reason. I just wasn’t sure. I did however plant my first rose this year. So now I know!! THANK YOU!! 🤗

Hey Laura, love your channel! I stumbled upon your channel a few months ago when looking at what hydrangea to plant and was hooked on your daily posts! I have found gardening to be enjoyable (never was much of an outdoorsy kid) and having an educational source like your channel has been such a blessing. My question is do the same pruning tips apply to climbing roses? Or should I be doing something different for them. Our local greenhouses have already closed for the season here🤯 MD/PA line (zone 6bish)

Thank you so much! Just got my first rose and been dead heading wrong and I wondered why it wasn’t re blooming 😅

Very helpful and short and sweet! I wasn’t sure if you could do shaping in the summer so I feel better about how to do it now ❤️

I don’t know why, but deadheading is one of my favorite gardening chores.

Thank you for the timely reminder. I have a finicky rose I have been fussing with for 2 years now. I’m sure this video will be very helpful.

A pleasant good morning to all. Laura, thank you so much for this video. Now I can prune my rose plants the correct way.

Really appreciated this close-up and step by step video on deadheading roses.

thank you so much i really needed to know this technique...im going out now to do them !!!

Thank dear finally, you are the only one can explained outward and inward cut so clear and simple!! xxxxx

Always enjoyed to watched your video, what the best slow growing roses who bloom all seasons.

Thank you for this video. It really was helpful. I have always stayed away from roses living in a hot, humid climate. But this year I decided to be brave and have a few. Now I know what to do with the long, gangly, single stem sticking up 3 feet above the rest of the bush.

I adore roses! Well Done Laura 👏

This was sooo helpful!! I moved to a new property this winter and the roses on this property really need some shaping and help. ❤👍🌹

I did learn something new as I usually do from your videos. Thank you so much for taking us along as you work in your gardens! I've said it a ton of times but your channel really is unique in that you show us your incredibly beautiful gardens but at the same time you show how you maintain and your thought process as well as educate along the way! So grateful for what you share!

Evening Everyone 🌸💕🌸

Great tutorial!

I would just pop off the spent bloom and that’s it. Glad to know the proper way to groom. Thank you Laura for keeping me informed.. 😊🙏🏽❤️

Thank you for this video. I planted several David Austin shrub roses this spring and I was wondering how to care for them now they are almost done blooming. The tip about cutting above 5 leaves with an outward facing bud is especially helpful.

Oh my word! What is that stunning peony like rose @6:38 ??

I need more roses in my life! Love the old fashioned one with fragrance.

We are just about to winter prune roses here in New Zealand and thank goodness for these videos! I'm saving this one for summer time but have learned to prune things from your videos alone and the garden has never looked so good! Love getting home from work and hearing 'hey guys!' Makes my day!

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day

Love the piano accompaniment, very soothing while watching your beautiful roses.

Always helpful, I might have to get some of those Morden Blush roses, most of mine are Antique roses. Its always a restful time for me to go deadhead the roses, my mother was a big rose lover/grower, so its a special time for me, some were hers. Time for me to fertilize.

I forgot the rule for the stem to be outward facing 😮. 5 leaves 🍃 I remember easily! Great video!!

Perfect timing! I have some At Last roses that I need to deadhead. I also didn’t know about the 5 leaves! Thanks

The soothing music and beauty of your Garden. So wonderful for the Soul. Oh I learned how to deadhead my Roses. Thank you ❤

Since my husband and Father both passed away last October and November, I've sort of been a lost soul. Last winter was weird to say the least. I have always loved gardening but have never had the know how to be very successful. This spring I came across your KZfaq channel searching for peony advice and I just want to say, I became an instant fan! I adore you and your sweet family. I have been watching your videos daily. I love that you repeat yourself a lot. It really helps me remember all the things. You have been such an inspiration to me during a truly difficult time. Thanks so much! That being said, I am curious, are rhododendrons something you don't grow in your area? Deadheading those things is such a chore. What about azaleas and camellias too? I never see those in your garden tours.
