check out the Better homes and Gardens website they have great tips.As to pruning different roses get pruned differently
but the general rule is go 2 to 3 leaflets down and prune at a 45 degree angle at an outward facing bud.You can prune all year round till middle fall. Matter of fact, if you want them to rebloom prune after the flowers fade! Also fertilizing them helps.
What is the best method of pruning roses to encourage the most blooms?
As soon as a blossom begins to show signs of wilting cut that shoot that is growing the flower completely off. You won't want to do this but in a few weeks you will be glad you did.
Reply:It totally depends where you live. Never prune roses in extreme hot weather. The best time to prune in Central States is Fall. Call the local Green Houses. They will tell you according to your local climate.
