Moved into a house and the old owners left rose bushes. I have never ever took care of plants in my life! Only thing I managed to keep alive is my kids lol They’re so beautiful I want to try and keep them alive, your channel is very informative. Thank you!!!!!
Thanks Jason. Seeing a new video feels like we're kicking off the season. I'm usually away from the house a month at a time trucking. Deadheading is my rewarding maintenance 🙂❤️
Thank you Jason. I’ve saved and shared this video, very useful, valuable information. As I was walking around my garden I was questioning myself on whether or not to deadhead certain plants, and I figured I would have to look them each up, now here you are answering my questions. Thanks again! 🌷💚🙃
Another handy reminder of how to get get the most out of your plants.👌 The 5 leaf note on roses is the difference between getting another round of flowers and maybe. The farm is looking good there Jason.🤙
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm I'm just starting to deadhead the early rose flowers. I waited to see what types of hips might develop when I let them grow all the way out later in the fall months, so far looking good. Now it's time to clear the slate for a fresh round of roses. I hate waiting.🤣😂 But, I have to accept the anticipation stage now. Like everyone else.
Thank you Jason, you encouraged me to plant roses, this is a second year, in Argentina, Buenos Aires, Lujan. (I've had a serious problem with cancer and kill me 15 plant roses. But I've bought a new ones to start again. I'm trying to follow yours excellent advices. Very gratefull .
We’re just about to deadhead our bearded irises and peonies in zone 5 Illinois. Also, our columbines keep increasing every year so we do have to deadhead them before they produce seeds.
I love your videos, so informative and with so much knowledge! I learn something new every time. I have a question about chlorosis. Gotland is a limestone island, and most of all cement manufactured in all of Sweden comes from here. That makes our Ph is high. Laura in Garden Answer has the same problem and treats many plant with chelated iron. I’m beginning to see that yellow tone with green on my citrus trees, is citrus more sensitive than other plants? I know that otherwise it’s doing well, pushing a lot of new growth, but started wondering if it needs more nutrition and get the mis coloration because of that?
Hi Åsa - it's not a bad guess as iron availability does taper off at higher pH, and that's a particular concern for citrus. A soil test would really be useful in sorting it out because chlorosis can be from a number of causes. No harm in testing out your hunch with chelated iron, or if you know your soil if high pH you could also go with an application of iron sulfate, which can also lower pH over time.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm we have so much lime in the ground and I see roses in gardens all over the island with sign of chlorosis. Older folks here believe that plants should look that way. Well, it’s easy when I have potted citrus trees, only rainwater to them then. I also have blueberries but in big pots with triple shredded bark, compost and soil from the forest and they thrive to say the least. (They are enormous!)
Great info. I’ve seen and purchased irises that claim to be reblooming. They are still young in my garden so I wondered if it’s a matter of age, or if reblooming isn’t possible.
Not a lot. We do have outbreaks of aphids, leafhoppers, spider mites and powdery mildew. This week things do look relatively clean, but they tend to come and go in cycles with the natural predators.
Sure - it's a version of staging, and definitely useful for "rescheduling" a variety (or a portion of the variety). Although the timing of that particular chop is prescribed, your plants will accept a chop earlier or later with similar results.
I really appreciate your helpful videos and am wondering if you can help me with a rose problem. I'm having to pick off half the buds on some roses because the tops are badly chewed. Is it thrips and what do I do? I must be careful with the measures I take as the songbirds visit and nest in my roses and many pollinators come.
Hi Beth. That doesn't sound like thrips damage - they don't chew, they scrape - which is unattractive leaves the petals and buds vulnerable to rot, but it won't look like chewing damage. Depending on how extensive the damage, could it be something like squirrels?
Hi Jason, you mentioned that some hydrangeas benefit from deadheading. Are we talking generally about Paticulatas v. Macrophyllas v. Arborescens v. Villosas v. Serratas? And if so, which type? Or were you referring to specific varieties?
There might be some in other groups too, but I was thinking of the breeding in reblooming macrophyllas: hydrangea.com/blogs/growing-tips/the-story-of-reblooming-bigleaf-hydrangeas
Hello, there is a rose in the park near me that seems to be all sucker growth. It has 7 leaves or more on each node and wispy white flowers. This should be a red rose as they are planted in a cluster. Is there any pruning to be done to save this rose?
Got a question...how long does it take a plant to reform a mature seed after deadheading? I would love to have a second flush of my favorite spike flowers, but I also want them to self-seed. It's way cheaper than buying new plants or seed packets every year. Plus I love a natural drift in the garden! Btw, some new varieties of Lilacs rebloom (Josey) as well as Bearded Iris, which shocked me. 😮 Thanks!
Thanks - it's amazing what they're doing with breeding these days, and I'm sure our list of reblooming perennials and shrubs will continue to expand. I usually expect that 2-3 months of favorable conditions will allow seeds to ripen.
Speaking of butterfly bushes, have you ever heard of a winter in zone 6b being harsh enough to kill them off? Every single butterfly bush where I live, in the mountains of VA, died over the winter, and some had been growing for 20 years.
Sorry to hear it. Some winters are just of a different character, aren't they? The only other thing I'll add (whether it's relevant or not) is that butterfly bushes do best if you wait until spring for pruning. A fall pruning + tough winter can really do a number on them.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm You're definitely right about that. I noticed that a couple are growing back from the ground, so at least I can take cuttings and replace the dead ones. I learned the hard way about not pruning in fall some years back, those died back to the ground but survived. I try to give them enough space so they rarely need pruning at all now.
@@christineedwards4865 Most of us in Eastern US experienced an extreme cold event b/w Christmas and New Year that happened very quickly and resulted in a lot of damage as you describe. I'm in WNC 7a/6b and I've had to cut all my Aucuba to the ground and it's never even faltered in the 20 yrs I've been here. Likewise macrophylla hydrangeas are coming back from the ground but no live growth left above that; had never happened before. And anything that was not really well established, well, let's just say I've got more opportunities! Like where my recently planted Marvel Mahonia dropped every leaf from the 'neck' down. I finally gave up looking at the little nekked stalk and pulled it out! 😅 If you watch Jim Putnam's Q&A this year, you'll find them full of questions about winter damage. You've got lots of company!
No, nothing will convince a one-bloomer to go again. You'll note in this video I talked about "most modern roses" being repeat bloomers, but many of the species roses and OGR's still will only bloom in a single flush (maybe with scattered later blooms if that).
I saw a video on tiktok saying ur supposed to cut back/prune roses around 4th of July (just a way to remember) is that true? U need to semi aggressively prune twice?
Sounds like a local rule of thumb and as you say, a reminder to check in on your roses after their main flush. You can get away with deadheading roses just about as little or as much as you want - more frequently will result in a quicker return to bloom, but less frequently is less work!
I don't bother with inward/outward. The 5-leaflet guideline is just a casual "rule of thumb" about the spot where the rose is most likely to return quickly to shoots & flowers. Above that point are modified "flowering" leaves (with a count of 3 leaflets usually) - and those nodes don't seem to generate strong new shoots as readily. Here's a video where I go into more detail on roses: ua-cam.com/video/MAg538GYoPk/v-deo.html
Very helpful. What about the daisy family? Echinacea? Trying to grow a number to bring in beneficial insects to help control pests on roses. Per your suggestion, also growing a number of herbs, salvia. 😀
Yes, but many in the daisy family are also triggered by having the proper daylength, so echinacea and shasta daisies, for instance, won't begin flowering until long days/short nights - and by that time of year it'll take a prompt deadheading to allow enough time for return to flower.
Yes, they can rebloom if there's still the right daylength to initiate flowering - in the range of 13 hours. In practice in the northern hemisphere, that usually means deadheading before September.
I always wondered about which ones you could/should cut back. Thank you

Being a good gardener means having a strong heart so you can be brutal to them 😭
Also, thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge!!
I would be interested to see your composting systems and how you manage them.
Great video about deadheading plants!

Hi Jason, this sounds like what we call in the UK 🇬🇧 'The Chelsea Chop.' 😊
Spot on, as they say.

Jason can you make a video about care/growing miniature roses indoors. I saw a lot of mini roses at the grocery store during Mother's Day weekend.
Thanks Nancy - will do!
Always appreciate your clear explanations. Thank you for taking the t8me to share your extensive knowledge. J
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
Thanks excellent and useful video.

I always wondered what the ‘count back to leaflets of 5’ meant for roses …I had been counting down 5 nodes lol 🌹 🥀
Lol. Well at least you were giving your roses a little extra shaping at the same time!
Good video, thanks.
Great info. I’ve seen and purchased irises that claim to be reblooming. They are still young in my garden so I wondered if it’s a matter of age, or if reblooming isn’t possible.
There are all sort of exceptions within each genus, and I know there are definitely a few irises bred & selected for rebloom.
In your closing, what is the yellow rose in the background? Very pretty yellow!

Thoughts on Chelsea Chop method of controlling blooming? Does it work for home gardeners or is it just a show technique?

Not unless you see the scion (red flowering) stems still in place. If it's all the white flowering rootstock variety there's no way to force it back.
What about black eyed Susan’s. Do you cut them back to tidy them up?
Depends if you want the leave the flower heads for seed/wildlife. Rudbeckia can rebloom if they still have long days.

Is there a way to grow orchid seeds?
Not my area, but I hear it's tricky because they need certain bacteria to be present.

My salvia started dying back is that because i didn't deadhead?
The flower spikes should fade but die-back of the leaves and stems probably wouldn't be related to a lack of deadheading.
