How to Prune Your Roses in 4 Easy Steps

Need help pruning your roses this winter? Learn how to cut and shape your rose bushes for healthier spring growth. Roses can take more than you might think. These four simple steps will have you pruning your roses in no time.

In Southern California we prune roses in January, but you can get away with it in late February too. Don't wait too long or new growth will make pruning more difficult. Generally speaking, do this major pruning as roses head into dormancy, whenever that is in your climate, or right before they break dormancy. If you don't know when that is, you might want to talk to your local nursery professional and they will be able to give you a ballpark timing.
