Thank you so much for this video, super informative. I've just bought a house with lots of roses so glad I found your video, I feel much more confident in managing them now. And what a gorgeous Border terrier 😍!

Brilliant video again Lee and so well timed. I’m just back from a weeks holiday and we’re amazed at how well my garden still looks and the flowers still blooming away. My Strawberry Hill rose is going crazy so that’s a job for me today to tidy it up and deadhead. Thanks.

Great help, thank you Lee and Barrie. My roses are still blooming for now although less of them. I realise now though that I should be waiting until I have secateurs and cutting properly further down rather than nipping off heads with my fingers when strolling in garden. Lesson learned 😄. Thanks again xx

Hi, Thanks for your video, easy to understand and a good straight forward presentation. I do have s question - when deadheading a flowerhead of three dead rose flowers from a standard rose, how far down do I cut?

What do I do if the whole bush is now rosehips with no flowers left?

[melissauchitelle-rogers]

It is early fall here now. I have very big rose hips. Should I deadhead them now? Or should I wait until winter? Thank you so much.

Hi Lee, I dead headed mine the other week and did it lower to where the leaves were and the newer roses near the spent one all went floppy??? Did I take too much off under the old rose or did i do it too soon ? Its a beautiful rose bush called "Loving Mum" and was brought for me not long after i sadly lost my mum 😢 this is its second year and its in a pot with rose compost and feed and is doing amazing just these other roses near where i deadheaded that are flopping!!!

Thank you, Lee. Is there a time when we should NOT deadhead our roses? I remember someone telling me not to encourage my roses to grow after a certain time in autumn when the cold weather could damage the plant. What say you? DA

I am always concerned about put anything from roses ( even just spent flowers) into the compost bin or on the soil in case it has any disease. Am I over reacting?

Very hard to SEE when you're cutting. Wish the camera showed exactly what you're supposed to do and what you are telling us to do.
