Pruning 'The Fairy' Polyantha Roses for a Compact, Floriferous Mound

Pruning 'The Fairy' Polyantha Roses for a Compact, Floriferous Mound

'The Fairy' naturally grows wild and straggly. You correctly removed dead wood. To shape:

Cut tall canes to just a few inches above the others for a mounded shape.
Commercial growers use electric hedge trimmers on polyanthas to increase bloom.

The strongest cane will always dominate; cutting it to the base would ruin the shape, so maintain the mound by regular light topping.
