For newly planted
Tea rose although still flowering, have slender, short branches and small flowers with few petals, making them unsuitable for cut flowers. Pruning during this period should be done at any time, not only to cut off dead and diseased branches, but also to remove the flowers to avoid wasting nutrients. Keep pruning until thicker branches develop from the base of the plant and are raised into main branches. As the growth of the main branches weakens over time, it is important to eliminate the old ones on
Tea rose at regular intervals and to grow new ones in order to maintain the growth and the plant's yield. When pruning
Tea rose, first cut off the old branches that are weak (flowers and leaves become fewer) and keep 3 to 5 of the youngest main branches on each
Tea rose, then trim the remaining branches to 50 inches high. This will encourage new branches to grow at the base of the plant. Pruning your
Tea rose in late winter to early spring gives the best results.
