It's the first year we've grown one. Is it usual for them to bud and bloom in October? :-S |

I had them flowering until December in the East Midlands if there were few frosts, I never pruned until March. |

Just checked. We have no buds but the climbing rose on the side fence still has five or six beautiful red blooms. |

Thanks ladies. What with the weird weather we've had in the last 6 months or so, I'd wondered if that had effected it. We live in NW Kent which does tend to be mild. |

Whether they late bloom or not cut them well back before any serious frost and in any event by November. It will ward off the many health problems that roses are prone to and stimulate next year's growth. |

I prune lightly October and cut hard in March/April. I have loads of roses in my garden so a bit of a task :-D |

Like LaGooner, OH prunes lightly in late October/earl November, usually cutting back by about 1/3 to 1/2, then he prunes back again by about 1/2 in the early spring before new growth starts. |
