when do I prune Roses?

Why Prune At All?

Unlike trees, Roses do not develop a permanent framework. Individual stems go into decline and naturally die after several years.
A mature rose bush will have stems of varying ages, and dead wood. Left alone roses become leggy, tangled and choked with dead wood. This leads to lack of vigour and reduced flowering.
