Most roses fall into 2 groups: 1. Floribundas and hybrid teas 2. Repeat flowering
roses.
To dead head hybrid teas and floribundas you would remove a spent flower and
the cane beneath it back to the first outward-facing leaf with leaflets. Dead
heading back to a leaf with fewer leaflets often results in non-flowering new
growth, cal "blind wood".
To dead head repeat-flowering roses like shrub roses and climbers, this can be
more variable. New flowering wood can be produced from a bud at the bract
beneath a flower or from buds at any leaf axis. On these roses, it is better to
dead head back to the bract beneath the flower and observe whether new
flowering wood grows from this point. If flowers are not produced, prune back
to the first leaf and start the observation process again.
