rose pruning
Cutting thorny shrubs
Rose pruning is the practice of cutting back rose bushes to remove dead or diseased wood, shape the plant, and encourage healthy new growth and blooming.
Gardeners typically prune roses in late winter or early spring before new growth begins: The rose pruning guide recommends cutting at a 45-degree angle just above an outward-facing bud.
