Early to mid-fall is not a
good time to prune roses. Why?
- Pruning stimulates new growth.
- Pruning early does not necessarily save you the trouble of pruning again in the spring.
Late fall or when roses are
completely dormant is a good time to prune. Why?
- For the tidy gardener, it gets the garden cleaned up now for spring.
- Late season growth can be taken back, so roses aren't "leggy" all winter.
- For most folks, it's when there's the most time to prune.
Early spring is also a good time
to prune roses. Why?
- Spring pruning stimulates new growth.
- You can shape your plant.
- You can prune off any dieback.
As always, you can talk to the friendly staff at K&W Greenery during regular business hours.
