How do you prune a rose bush?
My boyfriend just got a new house; I don’t live with him but I tend to the flowers. There are rose bushes that were already there that we would like to keep. The only problem it that they look as if no one has pruned them since they were planted. I have never pruned rose bushes and would appreciate any help in the matter.
Wait until late winter, early spring, then take clippers to all the limbs so when you are finished, none of the bush is taller than 12-18 inches.
If they are unkempt, in the spring when it starts to grow back, look for leachers which will have wild red roses….you should clip those off as far to the plant as you can.
All roses come from one variety and have other varieties grafted on to them. If the wild rose is allowed to grow, it saps all the energy from the graft rose and takes over.
