Thank you so much for this video, super informative. I've just bought a house with lots of roses so glad I found your video, I feel much more confident in managing them now. And what a gorgeous Border terrier 😍!

Hi Lee, I dead headed mine the other week and did it lower to where the leaves were and the newer roses near the spent one all went floppy??? Did I take too much off under the old rose or did i do it too soon ? Its a beautiful rose bush called "Loving Mum" and was brought for me not long after i sadly lost my mum 😢 this is its second year and its in a pot with rose compost and feed and is doing amazing just these other roses near where i deadheaded that are flopping!!!
No dont worry. It will recover. It’s probably just needing a bit more support or cutting the dead head off back so much has lost some of its stiffness! You can always use canes or metal hoops to help support really floriferous roses. Make sure you give it a good liquid feed if it’s flowering as they are hungry plants!! 🥷🌿
Hi, Thanks for your video, easy to understand and a good straight forward presentation. I do have s question - when deadheading a flowerhead of three dead rose flowers from a standard rose, how far down do I cut?
Hi Carrie. Thanks so much. I’m glad my rose pruning guides are helpful. You take them back to the next node down or side shoot. The node will feel like a little bump or flap. Hope that helps! If you would rather post a picture on my forum for an answer you can do that here. www.gardenninja.co.uk/forum/ 🥷🌿👌
Thank you, Lee. Is there a time when we should NOT deadhead our roses? I remember someone telling me not to encourage my roses to grow after a certain time in autumn when the cold weather could damage the plant. What say you? DA
Hi Donald. To be honest roses are super tough. I doubt desdheading them weakens them in the cold. The biggest risk in the winter is leaving larger roses to get ‘wind rock’ where cold winds move and damage ‘leggy’ growth. This is why a lot of people in Autumn do a quick tidy up taking off dead heads, rose hips and any longer growth just to make the plant more compact and sturdy for snowfall or wind. I may do a video on that if it helps people? Great question though! Lee 🥷🤘🌿
Great help, thank you Lee and Barrie. My roses are still blooming for now although less of them. I realise now though that I should be waiting until I have secateurs and cutting properly further down rather than nipping off heads with my fingers when strolling in garden. Lesson learned 😄. Thanks again xx
Hey Ellie! You know I’ll be honest. In a rush I do the same. However when I’ve got time the best way is the proper way! But deadheading vs not even punching out is better than nothing! Happy gardening! 🥷🤘🌿
I am always concerned about put anything from roses ( even just spent flowers) into the compost bin or on the soil in case it has any disease. Am I over reacting?
Hi Pauline. Yes don’t panic! Unless the leaves have black spot. Which is easy to spot as the leaves turn yellow with dark black spots then you’re fine. You can pretty much compost all vegetative garden waste! 🥷🤘🌿
Brilliant video again Lee and so well timed. I’m just back from a weeks holiday and we’re amazed at how well my garden still looks and the flowers still blooming away. My Strawberry Hill rose is going crazy so that’s a job for me today to tidy it up and deadhead. Thanks.
@@Gardenninja thank you for your speedy response. Do you know where I could find a concise list of hardiness ratings for hardy perennials as I’ve just bought a few from a massive nursery in Reighton which are fabulous but I’m quite a beginner and not sure whether I can plant them out now or if I’ll have to overwinter them. I’m in Yorkshire so it does get colder up North. Thanks
Guess what, I dead headed mine yesterday and now I will go out and do it properly 😅
Hey Paula! Great minds eh! It’s amazing how many roses in the Uk are still churning out flowers! Glad to help. 🥷🤘🌿
What do I do if the whole bush is now rosehips with no flowers left?

It is early fall here now. I have very big rose hips. Should I deadhead them now? Or should I wait until winter? Thank you so much.

Thanks for the guide. Beautiful verbena bonariensis in the opening shot!
It’s lovely isn’t it. A staple with roses for any modern cottage border! 🥷🤘🌿

Glad to be of help! My roses have been blooming well into late winter. Probably a side effect of global warming sadly. ☹️🌹🥷🌿
