WHAT IS THE PROPER WAY TO PRUN ROSE BUSH?

It depends on what type of rose it is. If it is a more modern floribunda or hybrid tea (post 1950), you can prune in spring quite drastically, cutting the canes down to 2-3 eyes. The rose will then grow even stronger. If it an old garden rose or climber, it might be better not to prune at all, but just remove dead wood and give some shape. If you tell us what roses you have, I am sure you will receive more exact information from HMF members.

Peter where do you live? The colder the climate, the less you take off.

If your roses are currently growing this is what I would do. Prune out all of the dead and twiggy growth. Prune the main canes to the first set of leaves growing away from the center of the bush.

Do a less is more for now until you know what you are growing. And feed them.
