Why are my roses budding with 4-6 buds to a stem

Sat May 15, 2004 10:51 am

I have 6 rose bushes, and most of them are starting to bud with multiple buds to a stem ( I don't know the correct term for that). I did cut several roses lately. I usually try to cut them 1/4 inch above the last leaflet with 5 leaves, but don't always do so. What have I done to make them all start doing this? A couple of the bushes have done this before, but not all of them. (I can usually make a cutting that has one rose only, not one stem with 4-6 buds with very short stems coming off the main stem).

Thanks

Sounds like you bought a floribunda rose and you're used to hybrid teas. Floribundas or shrub roses have multiple blooms per stem; limiting the number of blooms can produce bigger flowers, but hey, let it do it's thing.
More blooms means longer bloom times...

Roses blooming with multiple blooms

Thu May 20, 2004 9:13 pm

Well, I've been in this house for 3 years now. I have never seen them have this many blooms per stem before. I could often find a single stem rose to cut on most of my rose bushes, but now there are so many blooms per stem. I guess my pruning earlier this spring made them produce more blooms this year? They just haven't done this to this extent before.

Pruning could be it or the shrub may just be getting more mature. What kind of rose is it?
