玫瑰剪枝 Rose pruning
十一月十七日 星期六 晴
玫瑰花越開越少. 該是剪枝的時候了.
Roses are out of bloom. It is time to prune the roses.
玫瑰剪枝三步驟: 停, 看, 剪.
Rose pruning three steps: stop, observe, then cut.
慢慢來, 欲速則壞事.
Take all the time to decide whichever should go.
剪錯玫瑰枝, 後悔來不及.
It feels bad cutting off the good ones.
僅留四到六枝粗壯的玫瑰枝.
Leave about 4 to 6 strong stems each rose bush.
來年, 玫瑰美豔, 多麼心曠神怡.
Surely that gorgeous roses are refreshing me a lot next year.
暫停. Stop.
審視. Observe.
修小枝. Trim the branches with small shears.
剪大枝. Cut stems.
除去老葉. Clear old leaves.
從高處看. Observe from top.
最後一剪. Finish touch.
車滿溢. Loaded.

Thank you for teaching me how to prune the roses. I've never observed the stems neither cleaned the old leaves. From the pictures I think I trimed the stems too short - about 1 ft. to the ground.

You are welcome. It's our pleasure to share the experience with you.
1 foot is quite O.K. It all depends on how old is your rose , how big is your rose or how tall you want it to be. For those young roses, their stems are weak, you don't expect them grow too high next year. The stems of old roses are thick and strong enough to hold any height you want. No higher than 3 ft.

請問現在修枝(我住NY)，會不會太晚？

明春, 樹木發新芽前修枝, 都不嫌太晚.

再請問
農夫剪枝後 還摘葉 葉子留下去有害嗎 我從沒摘葉 不知這是秋天修枝的步驟之一呢

殘葉留在玫瑰枝上過冬, 又是霜, 又是雨. 長蟲長霉. 次年會給玫瑰帶來許多病害.
