How do you prune Roses & when?

Here is a nice article with a graphic showing you how: https://www.thespruce.com/roses-how-and-when-to-prune-1403040

1. Use clean, sharp tools.
2. Look at the overall shape and health of the plant, but begin pruning from the base of the plant.
3. Prune to open the center of the plant to light and air circulation.
4. Make your cuts at a 45-degree angle, about 1/4 inch above a bud that is facing toward the outside of the plant.

Generally late winter to early spring depending on where you live. I am in zone 9 and prune in late January to early February and have my first blooms by Easter.

Here is how!
