Let Go to Get More

How many time have you caught yourself enviously checking out your neighbors flowers? The same type, size and age plant that has double the blossoms than yours! Well, here is the dirty secret- deadheading. On top of good soils, material, and appropriate sun and watering, blossoms can be enhanced by deadheading. 

Purpose & Process-

The Rasmussen Way

The reason why it's a good idea to deadhead blossoms is because we ultimately want more beautiful flowers.

Dead Heading Goals

Look

Keeping the plant looking vibrant with fresh blossoms, for longer

Health

Preventing damage to leaves caused by fallen petals that stay damp

Avoid Seeding

Avoid the blossoms going to seed and directing the energy elsewhere

Energy Usage

Properly directing the plant's energy toward growth and storage

Planning Ahead

Prepare bulbs for next year by not spending energy on seeding

Growth

Enhance the plant's growth by properly pruning

Trimming Roses

A plant as stunning as the rose deserves special attention. Cutting roses is a bit of a science and we take our rose cutting very seriously.


The ultimate goal of pruning roses is to promote flower production and blossoming, ultimately resulting in a more beautiful rosebush. 


Cutting Tip - Trim the ends of branches at the point where there are five leaves. This helps the plant produce more blossoms!
