The fall of the year is the best time to prune anything - any time from late September to November. The main thing to remember is in the colder months the sap goes down in your shrubbery/trees so there is less chance of damaging them in pruning.
When is the best time to cut back plants (roses, hortensias)?
October!

Reply:I have 14 Antique rose bushes that I baby like mad. Trim them back in September and cover roots with mulch(use your mulched tree leaves if you have them). The idea of trimming in the fall on most (I say most Mr. Landscaper) plants, shrubs is the sap stops running then, they stop becoming active.
Reply:In Australia we usually cut back the roses around the 3rd week in July

Reply:You may cut back plants when they stop blooming or growing for the season. I like to prune roses in the early spring so I can get off all the branches that died during the winter. Same is true for most plants.
