It is time to prune roses. I pruned my bushes about a week ago, and I will go prune the rose bushes at the Foundation House (where my garden club meets) in a few days.
The first thing I prune is dead or diseased branches. Then I prune out crossing branches and tiny/weak ones. I look at the canes that look healthiest, and prune to an outside bud. The height varies, depending on the location of buds and the individual bush. I also remove all old leaves. I usually remove an old cane, or maybe two. And I cut inward-facing branches and weak branches.
