You can "trim" any time, "pruning" is typically performed in late winter to early spring before they start leafing out.

Anytime. Roses are very tough, and love a good pruning. To prevent the spread of Rose viruses/diseases, you may want to use a spray bottle filled with isopropyl alcohol to sterilize your tools (secateurs).
Hi Renee - This is a great article on rose trimming that's also loaded with a big dose of inspiration. Hope this helps! Hugs, Holly

I cut mine down to about 3 inches from the ground after the first frost and pile on the mulch to keep them warm. Here in Madison Al, winters don't get that cold. I even have some in large pots and this works to keep them over the winter.

Hi Renee, you should wait until late fall or early spring so you don't shock it
