After the summer flowers fade, before the axillary buds are not developed, a medium concentration of liquid fertilizer can be applied to promote a large number of autumn flowers.

China rose topdressing should master the principle of "frequent application of thin fertilizer", avoid raw fertilizer, thick fertilizer. In winter, probably in December, you can bury the right amount of fish intestines along the side of the basin, pay attention not to directly contact the root, the next spring flowers more.

After the China rose flower is withered, we should cut in time the upper part of the branch that is connected with the remnant flower, in order to promote early hair new branches to bloom again. If there is a particularly vigorous growth of branches, it should be appropriate to cut short, in order to avoid the consumption of nutrients, affect the growth of other branches.

When summer air temperature is exorbitant, China rose and is in a state of half dormancy.  Prune the branches that grow too close to increase ventilation, in case they fall ill.
