Great info! Thank you for sharing this. We're hoping to put a rose bush in the front flower bed this year so this will definitely come in handy, at least for the wife, soon!This is a guide for shrub roses, climbers and ramblers are pruned differently. Step 4 can be ignored as it's not necessary to remove the leaves. I would take a quarter or third off the top growth every year depending on how strong growing the rose is.
