What are the effect of this in roses?

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.
Reply:Dead heading is cutting of the flowers once they have died.It has not effect on the plant except that it will produce more nice flowers.
Reply:Deadheading all flowers will make plant stronger, especially Roses, and take off black spot on leaves as soon as you see any.
Reply:deadheading of not only roses , but indeed a lot of flowers , is neccessary to encourage the growth and more flowers on the plant .


the plant you have whether it be a rose or a zinnia or indeed any flowering plant requires the process of " deadheading " to save the pl;ants energy and encourage new growth and more flowers .


" deadheading quite simply is removing the flower head that is wilting .


for roses they require a harsh prune every autumn / winter . ready for spring blooms --- i suggest you visit your local library to get a more hands on literature for your needs --- because every garden has a different " slight " to it .


good luck .
Reply:cutting off the dead flowers, in fall, and not sure
Reply:flowering plants are 'programmed' to bloom, set seed and stop the flowering process once that's done..... deadheading removes the flower before it can start to set seed, thus fooling the plant into making another flower so that it can make seed!!!..... it MUST make SEED!!!.... that's how it regenerates, right?.....if you leave the old blooms on the plant and the seeds appear, the plant will stop producing bloom and finish for the season.....





that's not ALL flowers... some will keep on blooming until the season changes, without you need ing to deadhead... but it helps even with those plants..... and, some plants have a blooming 'spurt' of new flowers after being cut back and having the old flowers removed... petunias, being one, for example.... and Impatiens....





then, too, a few plants, like coleus, should be deadheaded because the flowers just don't look so good and will also indicate it's time to die to the plant... same with dusty miller...





don't go crazy out there, ripping off every flower you see, tho... just wander thru and nip off here and there as you inspect your plants.... don't make it a JOB.....
