How do I properly prune my roses?
assistant
To properly prune your roses, first assess each stem for any dead or diseased wood. Then, remove any dead, diseased, or weak wood, and make sure to cut away anything that is growing in an unsuitable direction. After that, remove any branches or stems that are too old or are crossing over each other, leaving only the healthiest shoots to grow. Then, thin out the stems and cut them at an angle so that they do not touch each other when they grow. Finally, make sure to clean and sharpen your pruning shears before and after each use.
