The exact method for cutting roses from a bush involves selecting a stem with a bloom and making a clean cut above a leaf node facing outwards.
Here's a breakdown based on the provided reference:
-
Cut above a leaf node: Locate a leaf node (where a leaf joins the stem) facing outward from the center of the bush. This encourages new growth to spread outward, improving air circulation.
-
New stem growth: After cutting, a new stem will sprout from this node.
-
No need to seal: There is no need to seal the cut on the rose bush.
-
Place cut roses in water immediately: Put the freshly cut roses in a bucket of water straight away to keep them hydrated.
