Spring flowering shrubs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spring-flowering shrubs, such as&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>forsythia<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>lilac<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>mock orange<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;or even&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>weigelia<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, are the first to be pruned once they have finished flowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, these shrubs flower on the branches of the previous year and therefore benefit from pruning immediately after flowering to promote their growth and flowering the following year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prune these shrubs, remove dead branches, older and less productive branches. Also, do not hesitate to ventilate the center of the shrub by cutting a few branches at the base to allow light and air in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, lightly prune the remaining branches to balance the shape of the bush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. roses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Roses are a staple in summer gardens, and pruning them is essential to promote abundant blooms and prevent disease&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unpointculture.com\/quand-et-comment-tailler-rosiers\/\">Pruning roses<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;should be done in early spring, when temperatures begin to rise and the risk of frost has passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The size of roses varies depending on their type: bush roses, climbing roses or even stem roses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For bush roses, it is advisable to prune the branches to about 15 centimetres from the ground, cutting above an eye (bud) facing the outside of the plant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For climbing roses, remove dead branches and prune side branches to about 30 centimetres from the main branch.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For stem roses, prune the branches to about 20 centimeters from the main stem, taking care to maintain a harmonious shape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Fruit trees<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pruning&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>fruit trees<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;is also an important step to promote fruiting and prevent disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fruit trees should be pruned annually, usually between late winter and early spring, when the trees are still dormant and temperatures begin to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The size of fruit trees depends on their species and age. For young trees, encourage the formation of the framework (main branches) by removing competing branches and balancing the foliage. For older trees, pruning should be lighter, removing dead, diseased or crossed branches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, for espaliered trees, prune side branches to about 10 centimeters from the main branch and remove branches that grow backwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Perennial plants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perennial plants, such as&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>geraniums<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>hostas<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;or even&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>astilbes<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;, should also be pruned in spring to encourage their growth and flowering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pruning perennials mainly consists of removing dead parts and thinning the bush by cutting the oldest stems at the base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is also possible to divide certain perennials to rejuvenate and multiply them. To do this, carefully lift the clump with a pitchfork, separate the rhizomes or roots with a sharp knife and replant the new plants in the desired location in your garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Ornamental grasses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ornamental grasses<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;bring a touch of lightness and movement to your garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To keep them healthy and encourage growth, prune them in early spring, before new shoots begin to appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prune your grass, start by wrapping a string around the clump to hold it in place and make it easier to cut. Then cut the clump back to about 10 to 20 centimetres from the ground, depending on the size of the plant and the variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Make sure to use sharp pruning shears to avoid damaging the stems. Finally, remove the twine and dispose of the cuttings to avoid diseases and pests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Coverages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hedges are often composed of evergreen or deciduous shrubs that require regular pruning to maintain their shape and density&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hedge trimming should be done at least twice a year, once in spring and once in summer, to promote uniform growth and prevent disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To trim hedges, use scissors or an electric hedge trimmer, taking care to trim the sloping sides to facilitate the flow of rainwater and prevent stagnation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also be careful not to prune hedges too severely, in order to preserve their growth and density.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In conclusion, pruning plants is a fundamental step to prepare your garden for summer and to promote the growth and flowering of your plants. Don&#8217;t hesitate to find out about the specificities of each plant and adapt its size according to its type and age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This way, your garden will be ready to welcome the beautiful days and you will be able to enjoy a green, flowery and harmonious space throughout the summer season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get ready to learn the tricks that will allow you to turn your garden into a true oasis of greenery. 1.
