    Where do I trim the plant after a rose has bloomed and died, so the rose bush will produce more flowers?

    Count down to where there are five leaves, and cut just above that group of leaves.

    How do I trim rose bushes?
    Community Answer
    Use a good pair of pruning shears and long-handled loppers. The shears are for smaller branches, and the loppers are for thick canes. Make sure your tools are sharp so they make clean cuts rather than causing tears and rips in the stems.

    Where is the water line on a rose bush and what is it?
    Community Answer
    The water line is on your vase, not the rose bush. The water line is the line that the water makes on the side of the vase. Your rose should be trimmed of all leaves on the stem to just above the vase's water line.

    You can always cut the extra stem to make another flower. However, make sure you follow the same steps.
