Suckers are about as sucky as they sound: the unwanted shoots will quite literally drain the life out of your roses. That’s why it’s so important that you know how to remove rose suckers.
There are plenty of things you should do with roses in March to encourage the growth of healthy, abundant blooms, but many gardeners (including myself!) overlook rose suckers. They’re a hidden threat, for sure – but once you know what you’re looking for, you’ll be able to get rid of them before they zap the energy from your plant.
