Keep in mind that not all types of roses lend themselves to the "one rose
per stem" concept -- you may be wasting your time depending on the type of
rose.

It's not pruning so much as "disbudding" -- removing the buds from the
stems, rather than cutting back the stems.

Also, I freely admit that I'm no expert, but I'm not trying to sell anything
either!

Hi Everybody,
I am just looking for some answers for pruning to encourage one bloom per
stem.I have read that you have to prune above a five-leaf let to get this
result.After doing that for the last two years , I have tons of roses yet
all in clusters, that their weight causes the branch to bend and
eventually break.

Clusters are great I'm not complaining, yet al I want is single blooms!!
Any ideas??
