This one gardening trick could make your roses bloom like the expensive ones in a florist’s bouquet

The secret to changing that may not be an expensive fertiliser or a new variety of rose. Sometimes, it starts with a pair of sharp pruning shears and a simple habit: removing fading flowers before they turn into seed pods.Known as deadheading, this gardening technique can encourage repeat-flowering roses to produce more blooms. The idea is simple, but the way you make the cut matters. Done correctly, it can help your rose plant produce another flush of flowers, giving your garden a fuller, more colourful display. The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) and Oregon State University Extension both recommend removing spent flowers to encourage further blooming in repeat-flowering roses.
