Pruning Roses in Melbourne
If it’s Winter in Melbourne it’s time to prune roses right? …. Well yes and no, it depends on if you are just pruning roses, or trying to get them to flower at a specific time.
If you are looking for some hands on, practical rose pruning demonstrations try you local nursery, they often run rose pruning demonstrations, or follow our basic guidelines. Pruning to a vase or wine glass shape is the preferred way, what we are trying to achieve is an ‘open centre’ so lots of light and air can get in, this promotes growth and also helps prevent diseases.
A few quick tips – Remove all dead and diseases wood. – Always trim to an OUTSIDE BUD – All growth that is spindly must go (anything thinner than a pencil) – Create a mix of new and old leader canes, this builds an ongoing structure to prune with. – Apply fungicide – Use sharp clean secateurs
When to prune
And as to When To Prune Roses in Melbourne. If you are pruning for a special event, like the Melbourne Cup, prune 56 days before you want the flowers.That’s what they do at Flemington and it seems to work for them. Otherwise, if it’s July, start pruning roses.
