You'll be late – by this time, the hybrid tea garden rose will have spent a lot of energy feeding the shoots, which you will prune anyway.
How to prune roses in spring
First, prepare the pruning tool - pruning shears, garden saw, garden knife. Additionally you will need:
- a solution of potassium permanganate (focus on a dark pink color) or copper sulfate (100 grams per bucket of water);
- garden pitch, which can be replaced with Novikov liquid.
Before you start pruning a hybrid tea garden rose, clearly define the purpose you are pursuing. Pruning can provide:
- a certain bush shape;
- prolongation of its life period;
- high-quality appearance of flowers on trimmed plants;
- abundant and early flowering.

- The tool must be well sharpened. Otherwise, the cut will become crumpled, and the bark and wood will dry out and become a source of possible infection.
- Accurately observe the location and shape of the cut on the shoot of a hybrid tea rose. It is done obliquely, at a distance of no more than 5 mm above the kidney, to prevent moisture from getting on it. A stump over 5 mm after dying will become a breeding ground for infection. A lower cut is dangerous due to the possibility of kidney damage.
- Trim the stems of the hybrid tea beauty to healthy tissue. It has a white core.
- Pruning is done on the outer bud so that the growth of the shoot is not directed inside the bush. This makes it possible to maintain good illumination of the bush.
- Trim off all damaged, dry and dead parts of the bush.
- Each section is treated with Novikov liquid or garden pitch.
- As soon as pruning has been done, spray the hybrid tea roses with a solution of copper sulfate (1%) for preventive purposes.
When the growing shoots reach an average length of about 20 cm, the tops are pinched off. This technique is done in the phase of uncolored buds. Pinching hybrid tea roses in spring improves the quality of flowers and lengthens the flowering period.
After carrying out important spring procedures, it is necessary to properly care for the growing bush of hybrid tea beauty.

The responsiveness of roses to watering and fertilizing is amazing. This is due to their biological characteristics. After all, a complex interchange between parts occurs in the plant.

Spring fertilizing stimulates the growth of roots and shoots, so it is important to add nitrogen.
Summer needed to restore shoots after cutting flowers and give new growth. A complete mineral complex fertilizer in combination with organic matter is required.
Autumn - serves to accumulate plastic substances and prepare for wintering. Now potassium and phosphorus are added.

After pinching, it will be enough to spill them with an infusion of mullein or chicken droppings. The first component is diluted in a ratio of 1:10, the second 1:20. The infusion is added in liquid form very carefully. Try not to get it on the leaves and shoots, and after applying the solution, water the roses.
