For any queries, please contact Max Marriner on

Ray Hatton on (03) 9337 7980.
Pruning is a very
important part of rose care, for without correct pruning, over time
the plant's flowering capacity will diminish. As there are
different types of rose bushes (e.g climbing, bush, standard,
miniatures and once flowering and repeat flowering), the different
pruning techniques for each type need to be explained to get the
most flowers, and to reduce disease.
If you have repeat flowering roses, try not to winter prune them
before July in most areas as they may begin to shoot, and all new
growth may be lost if a frost occurs. Also some once flowering
climbers flower on last year's growth so don't cut those long canes
that seem to be in the way, move the plant if it is too big.
Cutting the canes may stop it from flowering. Only old canes that
have diminished in flowering capability should be removed, bearing
in mind that most climbers rarely flower much in their first year
and only reach their full potential after about their third year.
The yellow and white Banksia rose is an example of a once flowering
climber, so if you cut it back in winter you will remove all the
flowers that are to bloom in the spring, and the flowers will not
come again until spring the following year! Cut once flowering
roses back straight after they flower about December. Come along to
the pruning demonstrations to find out more, and bring a note pad
to write down any questions you may have. You could also bring
along a digital photograph of your rose to show the demonstrator.
We will be happy to try and answer your rose growing
queries.
Pruning demonstrations are carried out by members of The Rose
Society of Victoria during the winter months at many nurseries.
Please enquire at your local nursery to see if they have organized
one. Demonstrations usually take around 1 hour and there is ample
time to ask questions. Demonstrators also explain how to plant bare
root roses, what sprays to use and when, fertilising and general
care of your roses. Our demonstrators are experienced rose growers
and will also advise on types of roses to plant for different
purposes.
You will also be able to purchase the Society's 2 excellent
reference books 'Planting & Pruning' and 'Tender Loving Care'
which cost $7 each (2 for $12.00) and are written for the home
gardener for local growing conditions.
Membership forms will be available to join the Society.
We look forward to meeting you there!
