Multiple buds on 1 branch, is that "bad?"
Hi Hi, :-)
I have been noticing on some of the roses, about 3-5 buds opening up on 1 branch. Is this an ok thing? Or am I doing something wrong when I cut the branches? Thanks, Emil Zones 9-10 |

I was just curious as to if it was an incorrectly growing aspect. Thanks, Emil |

incorrectly growing aspect. *Nothing* is "incorrectly growing" if it produces more flowers. You come up with another way for them to grow that produces more flowers, and it's the "correct" way! Scopata Fuori -- "Bad cat!" |

That's normal for most floribundas, grandifloras and some other types of roses. Even some Hybrid Teas regularly bloom in clusters although most are one to a stem. |

Hi Hi, :-) Hi hi! I have been noticing on some of the roses, about 3-5 buds opening up on 1 branch. Is this an ok thing? It is okay, but on my grandifloras and hts I sure don't like it. I hate seeing a spray of buds at the top of a lonnnnnggg cane. The blooms always turn out smaller, too. Here is what I do if I am paying attention at the first budding stage: I pinch out a bunch of the side buds, and make the rose make one or two good-sized roses. I like that better. You can do it with floribundas to a point, but they are supposed to bloom in sprays, and as they are usually shorter and bushier the sprays look better on them. Or am I doing something wrong when I cut the branches? Not--but out of curiosity, how do you cut them? Thanks, Emil Zones 9-10 |

Ummmmm, I just grab the branch and cut. :-) Seriously though, I try to cut a 45 degree angle, and close to a 5 leaf branch. I believe that's they way I have read to do it? Emil |

The multiple buds have appeared on my new bareroots that were planted this year: JFK, Tigress and Moonshadow. Emil |
