I started dead heading a week ago and wow it grows so many more flowers!

I never knew about the 5 leaves as a guideline for cutting. Thank you for simple, straightforward info!!

Thank you so much for a well shot straight forward video. Off to trim my roses! 😊

Just moved into a new place. Was happy to see , from the curb, that the walk leading to the porch was lined with multiple beautiful pink and red rose bushes. Upon getting closer however (and I kid you not when I say...) I was pretty m7ch HORRIFIED by the sight of their obviously long term neglect! We took occupancy June 1, which made it even more disheartening. As they should've otherwise been happily and healthily blooming into the beginning of their "time to shine". I know this because my late Daddy as I was growing up,taught me all about caring for his beloved roses. 😢 I just know he's looking down with as much disappointment as I was feeling! Nonetheless, my love for roses originated from the "big time daddy's girl" type of love I always felt (and still feel everyday) for the sweetest man I'll ever know... my Daddy! I did give them a once over pruning just last week. (By now, it's the second week of July. Hey! I had to unpack and set up the INside of the house first! 😆). They had (and one or two even still have) so much dead wood all over. I know the basics for "light" pruning and dead-heading, as described in your video here. Also to open the center to allow fresh air in, cut above plentiful leaflets, etc. I'm terrified though (especially seeing how naked they look after my early summer "once-over"), that if I prune weekly or so throughout the summer (as I normally would), AND do the usual required "BIG" prune/cut down in early Spring...that there'll be nothing left come time to bloom next season. So torn! At first I was so hopeful (and confident too actually) that I could rescue them...help them bounce back to beautiful and healthy and if I'm being honest, looked forward to making my Daddy proud (from Heaven above, of course) for doing so. Can you please share any additional tips or tricks, aside from the basics, that I could benefit from? In the case of saving grossly neglected roses, that looked as though they literally hadn't been tended to for YEARS! Saw and snipped lots of hips, btw. I tried my best to get them all. Honestly though, as there were 8 bushes in this dire condition, it WAS definitely overwhelming! Good news is that by now they ARE ALL at weeded, tidied up a bunch, have all had their first haircut (first in a long time and hopefully first of many done by me), and they have been mulched. On the contrary though, did I take off too much (or rather...too much at the worst possible time)? Should I still continue deadheading throughout the growing season, or allow them time to calm, in the case of possible shock? Lastly, I did get a little uncertain after taking so much off (all needed, mind you). So I stopped short of height and shape that I truly hope for them to eventually take. Height and shape I've always done to others, once late winter early Spring comes. So... CAN or SHOULD I still prune down even further at that time? Idk! Daddy always said, about saving most any plants, "if there's green, there's hope". Lol. He was in fact wonderful! He was good at everything he did, including caring for his yard, garden and plants. BUT...unlike YOU, he was not a professional. Nor am I. Hence my pleading for any helpful pro tips and/or advice. Thanks so much, in advance! Just became a member, btw. Always happy to learn new things, about new things! Lol.

Thank you for the information that is a huge help. Nice simple and sweet. Thank you again.

Thank you king.

Wow, your roses look beautiful! Thanks so much for these tips on how to care for them. Roses are my absolute favorite! Your garden is magical and I know little fairies must be around it!! 🏵🌹🧚‍♀🧚‍♂

Hi Devin. Such great reminders. Hope next time you can talk about black leaf spots on rose bush & how to manage it. TY!

This is my first season with roses, I planted bare root plants in the spring. My plants just started blooming, this video will help me so much!

I never knew this before - good timing for the summer ahead! Thanks, Devin.

Very helpful bro!

Gooodd Afternoon!! New fan here. Watching from the Philippines ❤

I have 2 rose trees & didn’t know this. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge Devin!

Thank you so much for the tip :)

Thank you so much!

Oh Devin I got work to do lol!

I have heard that before and also that it didn’t matter where you cut, just remove the spent bloom. I also take advantage of cutting back a stem further back if I want to shape it up at the same time. As usual, thanks for your expertise advise!

We bought a house and there was a very sad looking rose bush out front. I assumed it was just going to die. Last year I got the wild hair to prune it, and this year it flourished wildly. I have been making a point to dead head as the blooms die off and it has given me several full flushes of beautiful blooms.

Thanks for sharing .❤

Very helpful!

Стараюсь обрезать на уровне пятого листа, но если куст формируете высоким можно срезать и выше.Срез лучше делать косой, чтобы на нем не задерживались капли влаги.

Just found your channel,very informative easily explained ! Do you sprinkle Epsom salt around the base of the trunk, what's your opinion?

Is it OK to cut/gather the roses before they are old or deadhead in order to have MORE blooms?

Can I cut my Knockout Rose bush way down in the fall? It’s too big.

If I deadhead Knockout Rose blossoms now, will they start blooming again? I’m in MN/zone 4. My bush is done blooming. How do I know if I already have rose hips? Where are they?

Is this for all types of roses? What about now in October - some blooms are still active in zone 5. Should I cut anything back before the snow comes?

My roses are Tea roses and my roses before they bloomed had dried pedals what’s wrong thanks

I feel like this year has not been good for my roses here in zone 7. After an initial massive bloom, the new buds after deadheading has become teeny tiny little things. I wonder what happened 😢

Is this a floribunda since it has clusters?

I bought a rose plant in a pot , it has blooming white roses, how will I nurture the plant to produce more roses

My husband takes the clippers and chops off all the roses and bush as if it’s a shrub 😤 does this allow the plant to thrive? I’m assuming not ! Please give me your input

My flowers just stay for only a day or 2 and then drop why is that
