This paper reports the effect of pruning miniroses for redirect growth in the plant. When parts of a plant are pruned off it uses its energies to produse new stems and leaves. Pruning is similar for both classes. The difference is in the timing. Because Floribunda are once-blooming, they are pruned right after fl owering in early summer. Because Minirosa, Poliantha are repeat bloomers, they are pruned in early spring. The best time to prune is in the early spring just as you see the new growth beginning to bud. Cutting out dead and diseased wood will encourage the regular development of healthy new canes and ultimately, the goal of all rose growers, beautiful masses of blooms. The following article is meant to give an overview on the vast subject of pruning miniroses. Subsequent arcicle will deal with the particular pruning needs of Minirosa, Patio, Floribunda, Poliantha shrub roses.The goal of all pruning is to help the plant provide new growth and to keep it healthy by making it possible for air and light to fi lter into the middle of the bush.
