Hi I was reading the favorite rose topic and was wondering what you guys meant by the term deadheading. How do you do it and why? I have got so much to learn. LOL Thanks for your help,
Deadheading is removing the spent flower blooms. It helps promote growth, and tidies up the appearance.
I have a little garden cart that I walk, with me, around the 2.5 acres. I clip all the spent flowers as they fade each week. Come along the middle of the summer, it becomes a big chore but well worth it, things keep blooming longer. I don't let rose pedats fall to the ground. Someone once told me that they draw bugs and fungus.
