Your gloves look like my husband’s welding gloves. No matter what precautions I take when pruning my roses I always look like I’ve been fighting with a cat afterwards. 😂🤣

[@shesamadgardener]

Ironically, I have been trained in welding!

Great beginner rose pruning/fertilizing lesson. One other pointer is cleaning your pruners between bushes. I carry around a spray bottle with sanitizer and a towel. Any more, if I pick up my pruners, I pick up my spray bottle. Fraser Valley Rose youtube channel is another great resource for roses. I learned how to prune my standard rose from him. I have one climber and last fall I got a Proven Winners rose to train to climb on a trellis in a pot. So I'm a newbie too. Thanks for the close ups and sacrificing your arms for the cause!!

[@shesamadgardener]

Ooo, these are all great tips! Thank you!

[@BCBRENDA]

Thank you for this video, I have had my purple rose for over 5 years. When I cut it back n gave it plenty of rose food, they are so big n so many bulbs. They smell so good! Thank n I'm always watching your KZbin. When I have a question about anything, you are my first go to! Thanks for all you do!😊

[@shesamadgardener]

Glad it was helpful! And thanks watching and commenting!

You’re welcome!

[@rebeccazody1278]

I am going to purchase a few Walmart roses and give them a try. Thank you for this video.

[@shesamadgardener]

You are so welcome!

[@michelechambers4494]

You did a great job explaining how to prune roses and the difference between pruning for cut flowers versus for a garden show. I tend to prune for a garden show. I love the idea of cut flowers but I can't seem to cut the roses off the plant when it is in full bloom. I enjoy walking around my garden and enjoying the display. I find that roses are more forgiving than we give them credit for. I buy roses that are known to be hardy they bloom even if I prune incorrectly or forget to fertilize at the proper time.

[@shesamadgardener]

Yes there is something so peaceful walking g through a garden filled with blooms ❤️

[@natashaslipscomb9355]

I'm just trying to keep up!!!! Giving myself GRACE! So much to do before spring....

[@shesamadgardener]

Definitely give yourself grace!

[@joycerapezzi2378]

Lots of great information. Thanks

[@shesamadgardener]

You’re welcome!

[@debbiet0719]

I have learned so much about roses today! Thank you for giving me a good starting point for learning how to take care of roses. I can’t wait to get some!

[@shesamadgardener]

Yay! So glad it helped!

[@vickijackson9115]

Thank you for sharing as always. Bye the way you can rent a Tuxedo. ☺️

[@shesamadgardener]

I almost did but then he decided he wanted to dress like his dad, so slacks and button down shirt for the win!

[@openhearts3466]

This is SO helpful!!! Thank you. I feel equipped to prune my David Austin rose this spring. ❤❤❤

[@shesamadgardener]

Wonderful!

[@leslietinyhousebuilderwann3851]

Thank you

[@shesamadgardener]

You're welcome

[@michellefrance1165]

Good morning, great job you got a lot done! I don't really have any roses other than a rose fairy bush.

[@shesamadgardener]

Those are such sweet petite roses!

[@jeaniemcdaris8276]

Perfect timing ❤

[@shesamadgardener]

👒👒👒

[@gracieshomeandgardens5089]

❤❤❤❤goodmorning amanda

[@shesamadgardener]

Good Morning!

[@patboyle267]

Thanks for the information and the close ups of the pruning that was very helpful! On my roses I use BioAdvanced all in one rose and flower care since it has fertilizer, insect and disease control 🤷‍♀️

[@shesamadgardener]

Yes, that’s a great product that I have used too!

[@user-rosesroses]

Thanks for the info.

[@shesamadgardener]

You’re welcome!

[@rebecca5969]

Truth is just a couple hours south from you, I don’t think my rose ever goes dormant. This week I plan on moving some into an another area in hopes it will give me blooms.

[@shesamadgardener]

Yeah I think that happens a lot for southern gardeners.

[@reginaneufeld1092]

I don't currently have any roses...but maybe one day? 😊

[@shesamadgardener]

Maybe just one!

[@pinetreesnflowers]

I learned we can scratch in alfalfa pellets around the roots to feed roses too. Organic and inexpensive! 😅

[@shesamadgardener]

That is awesome!

[@sharonhart1232]

I can't remember where my rose fertilizer is LOL I'm going to have to go on the hunt for it.

[@shesamadgardener]

I always have my stuff spread out everywhere.

[@irios04]

Thanks for this video! Do you know how to go getting rid of ant infestation in containers. I have a container garden and in one I have rose that has an ant hill. I’ve tried diatomaceous earth but had no luck with it. Any ideas of how to get rid of them would be helpful. Thanks!

[@shesamadgardener]

You can water your pot with a mix of water and dish soap or you can sprinkle a mix of baking soda and powdered sugar on the soil.

[@Mheldz09]

Thank you for sharing! Can you recommend a good but affordable potting soil for roses? Thank you

[@shesamadgardener]

I use Berger BM7 but they recently went up on price … I still feel that it is worth it.

[@debradiggs7489]

Thank you I have rose bases that haven't done well and I haven't pruned them ever they have been planted like 8 years any suggestions

[@shesamadgardener]

Hope the pruning and fertilizing will give them a jump start!

[@harbourheightsja2383]

I cut back my roses every year. I gave one away, because the Japanese beetles loves it too much

[@shesamadgardener]

Nice!

[@danny___928]

I got two double KO rose in red and pink, and honestly they aren't worth the hype. They grow very funny and ugh if anyone is wondering, buy a nice heirloom rose ,there are so many

[@shesamadgardener]

The knock out roses in my area get RRD so easily so I don’t own any.

[@danny___928]

i live in zone 7b ; NYC i have two in pots, they give beautiful flowers, but they are a hassle and by hassle i mean they are bred to give beautiful flowers but are extremely lanky and weird growing canes as opposed to a heirloom rose shrub - and honestly I'd prefer a fragrant rose over a double knockout now that i've had both in my garden @@shesamadgardener

[@Singininthegarden]

The first year I had my roses I pruned them in the fall and they came back, but they weren’t great. I now know not to prune until spring.

[@shesamadgardener]

It’s all a learning process …. I make mistakes every time and just learn to make changes for the next time.

[@alicehihn3250]

Hello fellow rose lovers. Can you move a climbing rose that has been in her spot for over 35 years. I have 2 and don't want to lose them. Thank you.

[@shesamadgardener]

Hmm, I don’t have enough knowledge to give a definitive answer on this. But I do suggest taking some cuttings and trying to root them and creat new plants.

[@michellemccabe6888]

How do you dispose of the pruned material?

[@shesamadgardener]

I cut it up into smaller pieces and either trash it or take it to my friend’s land.

[@yasmeensaleha741]

How is your rannuculus going??did they bloom??

[@shesamadgardener]

They are putting out buds right now! I’ll try to post an update!

[@annsmith5625]

[@cgzone8]

You have Don Juans. Mine are 25 years old & going strong. They really like Espoma Rose-Tone. cgzone8

[@shesamadgardener]

Awesome, thanks!

[@gothmamafreedom]

Also I share this just to take the word finicky away from roses. When I moved to my prior house it had over 90 (yes 90) roses! I removed a lot but the ones left (about 30) I didn’t give tons of extra care. And let me tell you I really think of roses as almost as vigorous as weeds now bc many of those jolly roses I couldn’t get rid of! they kept growing back from deep roots. lol.

[@shesamadgardener]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@gothmamafreedom]

not everyone loves high petal counts. Me, I love hybrid tea roses …. I’m not really a David Austin rose fan. I Love a classic rosebud. rosebuds are like the most beautiful time … just pure beauty potential.

[@shesamadgardener]

❤️ I love some of the simple very few petal roses as well.
