FAQs
What is the best way to deadhead roses?
There are several ways to deadhead roses. Some gardeners prefer to use secateurs, while others like to snip the flowers off with their fingers. There is no right or wrong way, as long as you remove all spent blooms and keep the plant looking neat.
Do I need to feed my roses?
Yes! Roses love food! Feed your plants every two weeks in spring and summer with a high-phosphate rose food. If you buy fertilizer from a garden center, follow the directions on the packaging for proper application amounts.
You can also make your own fertilizer by mixing one cup of bone meal, one cup of rock phosphate, and one cup of greensand into a bucket of water. Water this solution into your rose beds every two weeks through the growing season to provide nutrients for plant growth.

How do you deadhead a rose?
It’s important to cut off spent blooms and deadheads on your roses so that they can continue flowering throughout the season. Deadheading will also prevent disease from spreading from flower to flower.
The best time to deadhead is when the flowers are just beginning to fade, but before any seeds have set. This will ensure you get more blooms throughout the season.
When should you not deadhead roses?
If you are deadheading to encourage re-blooming, make sure that the rose has finished its first bloom cycle. Otherwise you may be encouraging it to produce more flowers at the expense of leaf production.
How to deadhead roses
Use sharp secateurs or a pruning saw. Cutting with a knife can cause leaves to become brown and unsightly. Remove all dead or diseased foliage, including any shoots that are growing out of the centre of the plant.
Cut back stems at an angle just above a bud if you want to encourage side shoots (also called ‘suckers’). This is best done when there is no flower on the stem so that it will not be damaged by your pruning action. Prune any shoots that are growing into other plants or pathways, cutting them back to a few centimetres above ground level.
If you have lots of new shoots coming up around your plant then cut some back every year as this will reduce their vigour and prevent them from overwhelming your plant.
Do roses rebloom after deadheading?
Roses rebloom after deadheading if you remove all the spent blooms. You should remove all the faded blooms within 2-3 weeks of their appearance.
This is when they are still fresh, but are no longer producing pollen. The new buds will start to form on the same wood that produced the old blooms. If you wait too long, those buds will have already started to grow and produce new flowers, and they won’t be able to rebloom.
How do I know if my rose has stopped blooming?
When your rose stops producing blooms, it’s time to cut them back. Roses bloom on new growth, so if there is no new growth, then you don’t have any flowers left! Be sure to check for new growth every week or so during the growing season (if you’re not sure what a growing plant looks like, see this page). If there is no new growth after a couple of weeks (or several weeks in cool weather), it’s probably time to cut it back.
What happens if I don’t deadhead my roses?
If you leave spent blossoms on your rose bushes for too long, they will stop blooming again later in the summer. Deadheading can help your roses bloom better and longer than ever before!
