Master Gardeners: Proper pruning leads to lots of roses
Question: Can you give me some guidelines for pruning my roses?
Answer: Without knowing precisely what kind you have — hybrid tea, floribunda, grandiflora, miniatures, shrubs, climbers or old garden roses — it's difficult to give more than general advice. Most people prune hybrid teas, for example, for extended bloom and to shape the bush.
At lower elevations in Redding, roses grow and bloom in all but the very coldest weeks in winter, so you never want to cut them to the ground. Instead, try to encourage and maintain the biggest, strongest bushes you can. Every winter when roses are dormant, remove broken or damaged canes, old canes from the center or those that are rubbing or spindly (less than the thickness of pencil). Cut above an outward-facing bud.
By deadheading during the growing season you stimulate the plant to keep blooming. Look below spent blooms and cut just above a five-leaflet leaf. If you grow climbers, don't prune them at all for the first three years. Then prune to shape by removing old, dead and broken canes.
