What is deadheading in roses?
When the bloom is done, cut the cane just above the first leaf bracket that has five leaves. The link I’ve posted has a picture. Always use this method when picking roses to enjoy for a bouquet. The next flower will grow from that five leaf bracket. Most people deadhead when the rose is done blooming, but some people cut newer flowers or even buds if they want to time flowers for a specific event or rose show. Deadheading keeps rose bushs producing flowers the whole season.
