In most areas of the country; except for Southern California, the Deserts, Florida and the South, spring is the time roses awake from dormancy.

The Correct Sloping Pruning Cut Above A New BudThe Best Time For Pruning Rose BushesPruning roses varies by region. Click on this link to find the best pruning time in your region. A good rule to use is to prune when the rose is dormant, or just starting to send out new growth. In Southern California, where I live, we prune roses in January after the New Year. Early spring could be January in warmer climates such as California, Florida and the South, or April in Colder climates such as Canada, New England or the Midwestern states. Just prune as soon as the rose has plenty of red leaf buds. This makes it easy to see where to make the sloping cut away from the bud. If you are unsure about the time for pruning, check with your local rose nursery or Rose Society.
