The time has arrived for me to prune my first-year David Austin roses! Pruning your roses is perhaps the most important thing you can do for your rose bushes, and I am happy to share this important task with you. A bit of work in the winter garden is going to give us bushels of blooms this summer!

This is great information! Thanks for showing each step!
Thank you, Jenny. Great information! First learned about removing the leaves. I’m guessing the same process for KnockOut roses and Drift Roses? Also learned about pruning in January. I’m also in 7b.
Can't wait to see your roses bet they will be beautiful come spring
Thanks that’s a very easy pruning that anyone can do!❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this video. I ordered 5 DA roses and iv been needing a really good video on how to take care of them properly.
So appreciate this as a new David Austin Rose grower myself! Thanks Jenny
Hi Jenny – Great video. It was so fun to see you working in your yard in the sun. We have had gray skies, snow and rain/ice for the past week. I live through you! 😂 I am sure you have answered this question a hundred times, but how did you and Jerry get into the video part of your business? I am so glad you did! 😊
Thank you for posting this video., I have seen many gardening videos over the years and no one posted this infor. I would say however that there is no need to remove EVERY leaf on your roses.
After 40 yrs of pruning, I am trying to save your basal joint of your thumb from arthritis. Just remove the diseased foilage and that on the ground. There is nothing to say the spores are not in your mulch and will splash up the next heavy rain. That is why I use a systemic fertilizer in spring. I also use Neem Oil in the evening hours. I know you are busy. Maybe your son could police the roses once a week with a bucket for any bad leaves. What if you had a whole plot full of roses like rosarians do? No way do they remove every leaf.
Very irritating voice, content is good. Cant tolerate the voice .
Does the rule to trim all the leaves off only apply to David Austin roses or is it true for all roses?
So insightful! Thank you Jenny!!
I left my opinion in the back of the truck with the fucin high jackets that took over my phone
Thank you this. I didn’t know to remove the leaves. I’ve got some work to do on my roses.
Super helpful information! Learning so I can add some roses in this year!
I love gardening..and flower plants thank you sister..
Very informative! Thank you
Gotta love David Austin roses. I just purchased my first one (Gertrude Jekwyll). Thanks for sharing.
My Jerry and I visited Creekside Nursery last Spring! I purchased my At Last rose from your nursery…my first rose! This rose was such an amazing addition to my zone 8A garden. I had blooms until January. 🌹This video gave me the courage and valuable information I needed to prune my first year rose. I’ve got 5 David Austin roses on their way and I’m so excited to get growing! I can’t find your video where you planted your David Austin roses. Could you could put up a link or will you have another video this Spring? Can’t wait to visit with y’all and see the new Greenhouse this upcoming season! God Bless your sweet family.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! My DA Lady of Shallot climbing rose is STILL in bloom even though we’ve had several cold snaps well below freezing, and I was stressing whether I should defoliate and prune or keep waiting until the leaves actually fall. Very timely video and I appreciate your help!!
The night time temperature these next few days will be in the upper 20s/ lower 30s. Would pruning them still be okay? I got my first two last year as well! My grandmother always said to cut back roses around Valentine’s Day to help you remember to do so
So much great information here! I never knew to defoliate…my roses should look much better this year. Thank you!
I've been listening to you talking about David Austin Roses since last year. It sounds like you're saying David 'Alston'.
I loved seeing this. Can you do one for blueberries?
Much needed this. I have some heirloom roses. This will be the 2nd year. They are not doing as well as I expected and I may have some that won’t come back this year. On another subject, can you do a pruning/think out video on blueberries? Mine are past needing a good clean out.
If anyone live in very hot climate then donot hard prune it.your plant will be dead.it is only good for cold climates.
I was cured of genital herpes some months ago after I was tested positive. I was recommended to a doctor called Dr. Agboya on YouTube who helped me cure the virus you can reach YouTube channel Dr. Agboya Good health,
I followed your pruning instructions this year zone 10a. Wanted to report back my roses out sprouting beautifully.
Such a great and detailed video! So helpful! Thanks for sharing, I learned a lot!❤️
