Summary: Properly pruning roses is essential for their health and blooming in Summer.
Step 1 : Begin by removing any dead or diseased canes, cutting them back to healthy tissue at a 45-degree angle.
Step 2: Identify and remove any crossing canes that may rub against each other, causing damage and disease.
Step 3 : Prune back any weak or spindly growth to encourage new, healthy shoots to develop.
Step 4 : Cut back the remaining canes by about one-third to promote strong, vigorous growth and abundant flowering.
Step 5 : Finally, clean up the area around the rose bush by removing any fallen leaves or debris to prevent the spread of disease.
