1. Dahlias\u00a0<\/h3>\n
The first plant that can be pruned or just deadheaded in September is dahlias.<\/p>\n
The dahlia is a popular garden plant prized for its beautiful blooms. If gardeners prune their dahlias correctly, they can enjoy these showy flowers from the middle of summer through the first frost of the year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In addition, gardeners may need to prune their dahlias to remove pests or diseases contaminating them.<\/p>\n
To do this, Sarah said: \u201cCut all the spent flowers off to the buds below them. With a little TLC, they\u2019ll keep flowering until the first hard frost.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This will give them a new spurt of life.\u201d<\/p>\n Once pruned or deadheaded, gardeners should combine this with a feed of liquid seaweed\u00a0or general fertiliser for an extra tonic.<\/p>\n The expert claimed that these two types of roses should be pruned immediately, once they’ve finished flowering – and this is typically around this time.<\/p>\n To prune them, Sarah instructed: \u201cRemove suckers from the base of roses and trees.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cRemove any fallen leaves from the base of roses to prevent the spread of disease.\u201d<\/p>\n The key autumn rose care jobs are tidying up, removing spent blooms or diseased foliage, and pruning.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, autumn is also a good time to plant a rose or transplant them.<\/p>\n
