On roses clip back to next leaf, on daylilies take the entire stalk, otherwise just pop the declining bloom off.The best way to deadhead is to remove only the faded flowers. Once all the flowers on a stem have been removed, then cut the stem back to a bud or leaf or to its base. Another way is to disbud, which is to take off the smaller buds to promote the larger ones.

What happen if a flower was picked off a plant?

Well it depends on the plant. Generally you want to deadhead a old flower to force other flowers to bloom. But this means that there will not be seeds. Sometimes this is a good thing and sometimes this is not. For example, I generally deadhead my daylilies. But if I was hybridizing, I would not do this because I would want the seeds to start a new kind of daylily.
