Step 1. Prune your autumn sage twice a year in the late winter after all flowering has ceased and again in August to keep the plant more compact in size. Step 2. Shear the plant to just 4 inches above the crown during the winter pruning session. Clear away all of the cuttings to make room for spring growth to emerge.
The Spring. Rejuvenate roses with a hard annual pruning. Prune to shape and clean out dead wood, and worn out, weak, spent canes. Spring is the time to correct problems with overall form, or reduce the height of roses that are outgrowing their space. Most roses bloom on new wood, and tend to have reduced bloom on old canes.
