Rose pruning.
I’ve filmed a shart sequence to show what happens to a bud when you prune a rose branch.
Basically you prune to get rid of any weak or diseased branches, to encourage healthy new growth and to keep the plants size and shape in check
Plants have evolved to be ‘pruned’ by herbivores grazing on them. Being nibbled stimulates new growth. In most gardens we don’t have herbivores to graze our plants so we need to prune them instead.
