Guidance on pruning established roses stresses spring pruning before growth starts. Remove dead wood and crossing canes, cut back strong canes to a uniform height, about 18 inches, leaving a bud at a percent above it. For show blooms limit to two strong canes, 5 to 6 inches long.
Four pruning principles guide rose care. Remove winter-damaged canes to sound yellow-green tissue, discard brown or cankered wood, cut one inch below cankers, and prune away weak twiggy growth to boost bloom quality.
After a severe winter, cut canes back to mulch but leave strong vigorous wood. Avoid removing healthy growth, avoid whacking. Large flowering climbers prune after bloom in June, remove older canes and winter killed wood, thin lateral branches. Climbing hybrids prune in early spring with other roses, with base cane removal every other year.
