i'm no rose (Rosa L.) (Rosa L.) grower, so probably can't help too much here, but the new
home we bought had some roses (Rosa L.) (Rosa L.) in the garden, so in preperation for
pulling the garden out i just cut them all back to almost ground
level, and those plants loved it they are a mass of growth and healthy
looking plants not the spindly yukky looking things that uninspired me
even more about the plant.
i know you are supposed to thin them out and prune them to an open
vase shape, but hey without any water these plants look great. the
funny bit i reckon they may even put on their best show of flowers
next season.
oh i'm even taking them out of the garden and potting them and they
haven't looked back, treat 'em rough i say they'll love it.

With peace and brightest of blessings,
