Thank you to everyone, including those advising about pruning. It sounds as if the rose would benefit from it both before and after winter! |

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. |

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. |
