Rose Expert Shares Timely Deadheading Tips Amidst Unusually Early Blooming Season

In the UK, rose gardens are flourishing earlier than usual this year, prompting many gardeners to seek advice on rose maintenance. One such expert, #gardenerben, a rose expert and podcaster with a substantial online following, offers a simple yet effective technique: deadheading. "As the first flush of flowers is produced, maintenance has to change gear," explains Ben in his recent video. He demonstrates the method, emphasizing the importance of removing the flower head as soon as it fades. This, he explains, keeps the plant's sexual hormones high, encouraging more blooms. The video shows Ben demonstrating the process on his own roses, and his practical advice is well-received by his viewers. This timely advice is particularly relevant given the unusually early blooming season in the UK this year, helping gardeners prolong the beauty of their rose gardens.
