    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.

    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

    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!
