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.

Winter rose pruning. For best results, rose pruning should take place in winter when the plant is in its dormant phase. Winter pruning should begin when the autumn leaf fall is complete and before new buds and leaves begin to appear on the rose plant. Immature roses that are not fully established should be pruned with great care and should receive less vigorous cutting-back than when you are pruning a mature plant.
