I would like to know if I could trim my Rose Burshes at this time of year? I would like to trim them down and thin them out, by getting the old stiff out of them, and make them look allot nice than what they are now. They have not been trim for at less 3 years, yes they have roses on them, if I trim them down will they come back with new roses this year yet?

[COLOR="Green"] Hi Jaws, I don't think it would be wise to prune in the middle of the growing season. They are best done when dormant. I don't know where ye live or yer zone. If there are definatly dead canes ye can prune them out anytime. Enjoy the roses ye have and ye can clean them up later and give them a new start next year. Good Luck! :animorang[/COLOR]

This I have a question about because they look like a Bursh Rose, althrough I have never seen a Carpet Rose to know what one looks like. I did buy it at a Greenhouse, perhaps they just wanted to sell me 4 0f them for that is what I needed, and did not care about the customer knowing that I would not know the differants in the Roses which I don't know yet today.

Hi, It looks like you are in a Zone 5 either a or b. Wait until your last frost date has past but before your roses start to bud. If you prune too early you risk frost damage on the newly trimmed limbs. You can either prune out just the dead branches(down to the ground) and a light trim all around or you can cut the whole bush down. It will grow quickly, and you will have roses this year. Prune the branches at an angle, above an outside facing "eye" the high part of the angle over the eye and the low part toward the middle of the bush. If you need more help you can pm me, I think I have pictures somewhere. Hope this helps. Sass |

Hi I live in So CA. USA, I have roses in my back yard that bloom all summer, I pruned them last fall, however, as the roses bloom and die thre is a way go prne stems, I think you are susposed to cut above the 7 pedel leaf rose, I would like for someone to verify this for me. Thanks Chris |

I've read trim down to a 5 leaf stem, maybe heard that from sassmuffin. |

To a 5 leaf stem is correct-and you don't have to go to the very next set of leaflets. If the bush is too wrangly, you can prune further down and not hurt it. |
