Prune the roses after the buds break dormancy. The major pruning period for knockout roses is in late winter to early spring, just as the bush begins to break out of its dormancy stage. 1  Check for bud formation on the stems of the plant. 2  You can still prune the plant even if new growth is starting to develop, though.
Roger Cook replies: Roses are best transplanted in late winter or early spring, when they are just coming out of winter dormancy. But timing isn't everything. Here are the steps to follow for a successful transplant. First, water the plant every day for a week. Then dig the receiving hole approximately 18 inches wide and 15 inches deep. Roses love soil rich in organic matter, so mix generous amounts of organic matter into the soil dug out of the hole.
