when do I trim rose bushes when in bloom and what is the right way to trim them,does it matter if it’s spring or fall, thank you
Cut off the flowers as soon as the petals fall off. This will promote more flowers. Follow the stem down from the spent flower until you find the first 5 leaf cluster and prune just above that. In late fall after the leaves fall off, cut it back to about 1′ tall for the winter. Rake some leaves up around it for some protection.
