5. At what stage of development should roses, gladioluses, and dahlias be cut?
- Roses
- Cut when petals are half-open. This allows for the rose to open fully after harvest.
- Gladioluses
- Cut when 3/4 of the flowers have opened. Cut a spike that contains 1-4 open blooms on it. Harvest in early morning before stalks dry and leave 3-4 leaves on on plant harvested from to allow for the plant to produce the following year.
- Dahlias
- Cut when flowers are almost fully open. Harvesting sooner may cause them not to open at all.
