Rose Gardening Hack: Avoid This Common Deadheading Mistake
Local Gardener Shares Rose-Growing Tip: Avoid This Common Deadheading Mistake Many rose enthusiasts may be unknowingly hindering their plants' growth. A recent video by gardening expert Hygge Haven has gone viral, showcasing a simple yet crucial deadheading technique. According to Haven, most people make the mistake of cutting roses too close to the bud, which weakens the stems and reduces blooms. "Most people are deadheading their roses wrong," Haven explains in her video. "If you’re snipping right under the bud, you’re missing the real magic spot." Haven's solution? Cut back to the first set of five leaves. This seemingly small adjustment encourages stronger stems and more blooms, as demonstrated in her video's before-and-after comparisons. The video also emphasizes the importance of removing spent petals to prevent disease. Haven's practical advice and clear demonstration make her video a valuable resource for rose gardeners of all levels. Her simple tips can help rose lovers achieve more vibrant and healthy gardens.
