I planted out some roselilies for cutting in a cutting bed and I\u2019ve just started bringing them in, delighted with the results.<br \/>\nI just want some advice about whether they will repeat flower next year and if there is any way I should cut or feed them to improve the chances. I am so delighted with them we will be buying new stock anyway but would like this to become a recurrent bed if at all possible. Any advice would be much appreciated.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"hubmaster_faq_answer\">Hi Paul<br \/>\nYou need to leave a good amount of stem on the lilies to die back naturally to feed the bulb for the following year. If the lilies are cut too short then they probably won&#8217;t flower very well for a few years. I&#8217;d suggest leaving at least 2ft of stem if you can. You can give them a diluted tomato feed to help them every 2 weeks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/Roselily-Series\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Samantha-detiled-300x217.png\" alt=\"Samantha Roselily\" width=\"300\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Samantha-detiled-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Samantha-detiled-1024x742.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Samantha-detiled-768x556.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Samantha-detiled-414x300.png 414w, https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Samantha-detiled.png 1367w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em class=\"hubmaster_faq_editor\">The Hart Family<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Paul<br \/>\nYou need to leave a good amount of stem on them to die back naturally to.. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/advice-about-cutting\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":6536,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[33,106,301,24,101,56,122],"tags":[494,232],"class_list":["post-7734","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-faq","category-lilies","category-lillies","category-lily-bulbs","category-lily-care","category-newsletter","category-roselilies","tag-c287","tag-faq"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Samantha-detiled.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7734","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7734"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7734\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7822,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7734\/revisions\/7822"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7734"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7734"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hartsnursery.co.uk\/lily-info\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7734"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
