Don't Deadhead These Roses

Deadheading roses (removing spent blooms) is a great way to encourage faster repeat flowering. At the same time, it gives the gardener a good chance to clean up and prune the shrub back into shape throughout the season. There are, however, some roses that don't benefit as much (if at all) from deadheading: old garden and species roses that only bloom once anyway so no amount of deadheading will encourage more blooms. In this video I'll show the technique on solitary and cluster-flowering roses, and also discuss some of the roses you might just "skip" when it comes time.

Thank you! Your videos are so incredibly helpful! You truly ease the minds of us rosebush novices! I "take" you out in the garden with me (via my phone) as I remove the deadheads and attempt to properly prune, water, and fertilize the bushes! 🤣Thank you so much for keeping it so simple for us rosebush laypersons!🌹🌹🌹

Thank you! I have never liked roses and just let the goats eat them... until my granddaughter asked for a rose bush! I needed a quick education and have been watching your videos all morning!

I've got 2 yellow Knockout roses and while they may not need dead headed they give a messy look to the plant. Since mine are right on the corner of my yard I try to keep them trimmed. Your place is looking great.

Look at those clouds hitting the mountain peaks! I do pull off the petals from my cabbage and apothecary roses, because in San Diego the summer months are becoming more and more humid, and the dried petals hold moisture and encourage pests. My Reine Des Violettes, drops it's spent blooms. I'll check out that website definitely! My friend has been asking me about pruning her clematis...

Your roses look so healthy. What do you feed them and how often do you feed them?

I am pretty jealous of the moonlight in paris. I had it in my cart for a month and then it went out of stock before I was able to get one
