When you prune your plant, you should cut around the base where the stem joins the leaf. Do not cut the stem itself, but only the leaf that surrounds the base. This pruning will help your plant to grow strong and healthy, which is important if you plan on selling it or giving it as a gift. For the first two years, do not prune your rose. Instead, wait for the plant to grow up to about one foot in height and then pinch the stem firmly below the growing tip of the rose.

You will notice that after pruning the rose, the blossoms will begin to open slightly. This is normal. You will also notice that after two years of growth, the roses may begin to appear bushy.

One of the great things about growing your own roses is that you can prune them as often as you like. Although some roses may require annual trimming, most can be pruned every few years. This will help keep your plants healthy and prevent them from becoming too woody. If you plan to replant your roses, make sure that you do not cut the plant too close to the ground. This will prevent your plant from growing to full height. When replanting, you should follow a plan that will allow your rose to spread out and grow towards the sides and not up and down.
