DO ALL ROSES REQUIRE PRUNING?
Pruning is important for all roses as a means to renew the plant. Most modern roses are pruned in this area during January or February when they are at their most dormant stage. Old Garden Roses are mostly “once bloomers,” which have just one long period per year of heavy flowering with no repeat bloom. These roses should be pruned right after they finish blooming. Do not fail to prune for fear of making a mistake. Roses are very forgiving and will come back from most errors in pruning better than you might think.
