We've all heard the phrase "pegging a rose" but what does it really mean? This video shows you how to peg a rose to get maximum "bloom-o-rama" from your rose bushes

I am a biologist. The reason the rose grows when you bend it down is because the growth hormone in the rose goes to the highest point of the plant. If it is straight up, it goes to the tips only. So the more horizontally level you make it, the more evenly distributed the growth hormone is along the cane. The more roses you get. 😁👍

I had a desire to try pegging roses and, now, after seeing this demonstration from Paul Zimmerman, I can hardly wait to get started! He explains everything so clearly. I also enjoyed listening to Edith Piaff sing "La Vie En Rose" at the end of the video. I would like to try pegging an old rose called Zephirine Drouhin. It is pink and grows to 12 feet or so. And it is THORNLESS!

Climbers can take a while to grow before they start blooming so what you are seeing is normal. How big is the pot. A rose like that is going to want something at least 22" across and 2' deep. Climbers don't really peg well. You'll need to train it horizontal along a fence or something like that.

Hi Mr. Zimmerman, I love your video. Watched it many times. Every time I try to bend my main cane to do the crouching shape or dome shape, I end up snapping the cane. I tried it 4 times and I broke the cane each time. I dont have much space ( about 2 feet), so it really must be that shape. I tried with Don Juan, Golden Shower and Drouhin Zephirine. Each of my plant has been in the ground for 1 year since planting them last year. What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

Bend them a little at a time. Bend it until you feel it's reached as far as it can go. Tie it in and wait 3-4 weeks and then try bending a little more. Keep repeating until you get it where you want it.

It does not work well for roses with stiff upright canes which most hybrid teas and grandifloras have. Floribundas don't really throw out long canes and won't work either. It would work with small climbers. Ideally it's best for shrubs that throw off long canes.
