| Maintenance | I prefer to keep my plants on the smaller side. To achieve this, I cut back the new branches by 33-50% every 1-3 years in the spring. If you want a larger plant, let them grow more and prune less. However, giving the plant a good hard pruning every once in a while is beneficial. Each spring, I remove old dead stems from the center and trim off the dead tips of branches. Since this plant is very thorny, wearing a long-sleeved shirt and a good pair of gloves is essential. Using long-reach rose pruners makes the pruning job much more manageable. Deadheading helps promote quicker flushes of flowers, but it also means losing the rose hips, so it's a matter of personal preference. |
