🌹 If your rose isn’t producing basal shoots, try these 3 simple tricks:
1️⃣ Layering Method – Bend all branches downward and secure them. This breaks apical dominance and redirects nutrients back, encouraging basal shoots.
2️⃣ Twisting Method – Above the 3rd bud from the bottom, crush the stem with pliers, twist it down, and bend it. This also breaks apical dominance to trigger new growth.
3️⃣ Incision Method – Above a healthy basal bud, make 2 small cuts with a knife, peel off the cortex in between, and block nutrient transport. This stimulates the bud to sprout strong basal shoots.
✨ Master these methods and your roses will flourish with fresh, vigorous shoots!
