Why and how do you fall prune roses?

Autumn/Fall Pruning.

If your roses are growing in an exposed position,it pays to reduce their overall height to prevent wind
breaking the stems and even more crucially wind rock.
During late fall, simply prune your roses down by one third ,not to any specific point on the stem or using any fancy angled cuts.
Wind rock is potentially fatal as, the rocking motion slackens the bushes, water gathers round the base, the water freezes and kills the bush.
