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.

EXCELENTE VIDEO SLAYY
So, I’ve been cutting my roses wrong this whole time. Could it be why mine are bushing out and turning from green to a weird red color? I mean the stem and leaves. And the thorns get really small and the flowers either don’t bloom or look unhealthy. Almost seems like a defense response from the rose Bush.
Pruning rose plants is an art based on years of experience.
So helpful. Wish there were more closeups with each cut. The bit about the rain and the bud…so useful!
The only thing that's missing is how much to take off. At the end you say you have other videos about roses, but I tried searching your channel page and this is the only one that came up. Do you have any others, in particular any that talk about how much to take off?
Best channel name ever and best video ❤❤❤
Great video with easy to follow visuals. Do you need to pull or cut the leaves? Wouldn't pulling them off risk pulling off strips of plant epidermis too?
Thank you! 🌹
