In general, you will be pruning just before the plant breaks dormancy after spring's final frost. This will be early in the year in warm climates, and anytime between January and April in cold climates. If it's old roses you are tending, prune them after blooming.
My dad did my mom's roses every spring and they lived in Ohio. Just trim before they start sprouting.
My mom had the most beautiful roses that people would stop and take pictures. She always primed them on Valentine's day. Easy way to remember to.
