It's Easy, You Can Prune Your Roses!
Before you try pruning or deadheading your roses - try this free rose care guide - so you'll encourage repeat blooms during the summer!
FROM: Harriet

Dear Rose Enthusiast,
You’ve maybe looked at
your rose garden this summer and wondered why only one bloom?
Or, you’ve thought the health
and look of your roses – in a container or garden –
seems beyond your control.
That’s
probably because you’re wondering how to prune
your roses… or when is the best time to prune
roses… or is it too late to prune your rose bushes?
Perhaps you’re hesitant to
even prune at all because you’re afraid of making a
mistake.
That’s why I've started
this website for you. You’re about to discover the
secrets to saving money, saving time, and adding more enjoyment
to your rose care experience by getting the proper instructions
for pruning and deadheading a rose bush.
You will:
- See repeat bloomers during the summer
- Keep your rose plants under control
- Encourage the size of the rose bloom
You’re going to have less
frustration and more satisfaction out of your roses.
Pruning your roses is a lot more fun once you know what you’re
doing.
Like you, I’ve had challenges
with my roses that I’ve had to overcome.
Also, I've noticed that many people
are searching for rose care solutions but
not finding many good results.
Many other rose care guides are
too technical or academic. They assume you already know
certain things about how to prune a rose. This can make their
guide tough to understand, especially for a beginner.
Remember, even the most experienced
“rosarian” started out as a beginner. However,
most guides assume you’re already at an advanced level.
I want to simplify it for you.
I’ve learned what to do and
what not to do when pruning roses from my own experiences
and I’ve learned from some of the smartest gardeners around while volunteering at public rose gardens.
These rose care tips
will be shared with you too.
Also, now that I've discovered how to care for roses they are an absolute joy in my life. I have
my own that I tend to and I often take care of my friends roses too. Just like you, I’ll do whatever I
can to care for my roses and keep them healthy.
Like any good “rosarian”
– yes, it’s a real name rose enthusiasts give
each other! – I want only what is best for your roses.
All
of us need a vacation. So do your roses.
Really, your roses need a little
rest and relaxation from time-to-time.
Pruning
your rose bush starts the plant’s biological clock so
that it will bloom at the optimum time, approximately 6 –
8 weeks after awakening from dormancy.
Here is
a brief summary of the benefits you can look forward to:
- Learn the different types
of pruning
You may hear of different types of pruning. It’s true,
there are different pruning techniques. I'll explain
to you what the pruning techniques are, including the one
called “deadheading”.
- Do you live in a warm or cold climate?
In some climates rose plants go into what is called “summer
dormancy”. We'll include information on dealing
with that issue too.
Also, it’s quite possible to provide winter protection for
your roses without digging them all up and moving to Florida.
And remember, one of the most important things you can do
for the winter safety of your roses is to keep them in good
health during the summer.
Pruning
roses is the right thing to do!
Knowing the different types of
pruning and how to prune roses using all techniques is a major
key to your roses being a healthy and blooming success.
- Pruning vs. “Deadheading”
Yes, “deadheading” is a rose care term and cutting
technique. And it’s different from just pruning.
Both are vital to learn how to do properly if you wish to
maintain a healthy garden so you can enjoy your roses more
fully.
-
“Why” and “When”
you need to prune your roses
Knowing how and when to prune different varieties of roses
will help you maintain a healthy rose bush and
encourage more blooms.
How
to Prune and Deadhead Roses
If it were as simple as just cutting
a rose stem everyone would be an expert and you wouldn’t
have many questions about it.
We'll show you the proper
cutting technique for both rose pruning and deadheading.
Plus,
you’ll be let in on the secrets of how to prune different
types of roses. There are different approaches to pruning
depending on the actual rose you have whether it’s hybrid teas,
climbers, a tree rose, or other varieties.
When you
know the different approaches to pruning different
roses you will save time, money, and save yourself from
the frustration of making a crucial mistake during peak rose
season.
Also, it’s important that
you learn how to select and care for the right rose pruning tools.
A clean cut will help keep your
roses healthy and blooming. I'll show you what the best
tools for the job are.
Don't just take my word for it...
Listen to what others are saying about
my rose pruning guide.
“I’ve
got one rose bush and several containers in my front
yard. I used to just let the roses go… no cuts
or pruning in the winter, I thought things would just
be taken care of naturally… and then when spring
and summer rolled around I wondered why my rose bushes
weren’t blooming properly.
But
now after reading Harriet’s eBook I can easily
spot a rose that needs pruning or "deadheading" and I know how to prune
properly, so now my rose blooms are consistent and healthy.

“I
actually met Harriet at a rose garden where she was
working. While she was pruning roses there I asked her
how she knew what roses needed to be cut. I also told
her I was afraid to prune my rose bush because I thought
I might do something wrong that would damage the rose
bush.
She
was very nice and her answers very simple and they worked!
Her pruning guide is easy-to-read and it was just like chatting
with her in the garden that day. Most importantly, it’s
a truly helpful guide on rose pruning that will make
tending to your garden effective and fun!”

Revealing the truth on rose care...
There is a lot of
confusion surrounding our field. I want to give you two criteria
or elements you absolutely, positively must have in any rose
bush care and maintenance solution you obtain:
- You must learn the difference
between pruning a rose and “deadheading”.
And, how these terms apply to different types of roses.
Like I said earlier, all of us need rest and vacation. So
does your rose bush. Knowing what kind of rest to give them –
prune or “deadhead” – is critical to your
success in encouraging healthy rose blooms.
Any rose care guide that gives you pruning tips must show
you the different types of pruning. Truth is many just don’t.
- Any guide that includes
pruning must show you the proper tools and how to care for
those tools.
Why? Well, any “how to take care of roses” book
should do it. But a lot of them don’t. Maybe they
think it’s so obvious to them that you already know
the answer.
Also, many rose books give you pages and pages of beautiful
rose photographs but they devote only a few pages to the
care your plants need in order to make them beautiful.
Don’t misunderstand me, rose care photographs are included
here and they’re always nice to look at.
But pages and pages of rose pictures do you no good when
all you want is to learn how to prune roses properly.
How
much is a healthy rose bloom
worth to you?
Here
it’s about making sure your roses stay healthy
and that good blooms are repeatedly encouraged.
Like you, I have my
own roses that I care for and I feel like I need to care for my friends roses too! Whenever I see roses at my sons house that look like they need deadheading I can't resist, out come the pruning shears and I get snippy!
Also, I’ve volunteered
at public rose gardens where very experienced
gardeners have taught me valuable tips I would like to pass on to you here.
So I’ve discovered
what works and what has a practical chance of working.
I know what doesn’t work when it comes to pruning your
roses.
I want to share
that knowledge with you!
I love roses…
and I love looking at other peoples roses. I visit gardens
often and nothing makes my day brighter than seeing a beautiful
rose bloom.
So like you, I want
only what is best for your roses.
