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.http://www.bhg.com/gardening/flowers/roses/tips-for-pruning-roses/Helpful Reply -

I cut mine way back right before the first frost is expected. They come back with a vengeance in the spring.Helpful Reply -
