Right Time to Prune Roses

If you're wondering when you should prune your rose, the most common advice is "In the late winter or early spring, just as it's coming out of dormancy". The longer answer is: "It depends..." In this video, I'll go through a flowchart you can use to decide if it's the best time to prune your roses.

If you find these videos useful, there are a few little things you can do to help me out:

I might’ve missed it, but why should major structural pruning be held off until the following spring after we hit the month of August?

Short, clear, and useful - as is usual with Jason. So glad he doesn’t prolong the videos unnecessarily. Best gardening channel IMO.

Superb, Jason. A great video and uncluttered flowchart idea, followed through clearly. Almost anyone interested in advice who grows roses will see sufficient detail and clarity in this. A great start to the week. Many thanks.

One of the easiest to understand flowchart I’ve seen!

[sldulin]

good information, well presented. Don't be afraid to insult us by going over the basics, repetition is a key to learning.

[leiaflash]

What a great, helpful and easy to follow flowchart! Thanks so much Jason :)

Jason sir you are my favourite and my roses are healthy . ❤️👍

In central Europe, they say the best time for pruning is while forsythia are blooming. unlike timing by calender, this kind of phaenological timing is quite good as it takes local climate variations into consideration.

Great advice Jason ! I live in
Myanmar & it is nearly the end of the monsoon meaning the rainy season. I have nearly all my roses in containers. Thanks for your insight! Good luck & God Bless!

Best video on rose pruning I’ve ever seen! Love the chart

[jenniewilliams]

Yours very truly

I love a good flowchart! Thanks for bringing that business skill to gardening

Love your chart which is straight forward for Rosarians . I always think winter is many steps involved for those who live in cold climates.
I am so lucky living in tropical environment. I always remember to prune days/weeks of Valentine's Day, give and take.
I only have to be on top on fertilizers Bec my roses are all year growing and blooming.

[ambaradhi]

Being engineer I appreciate your flow chart style...excellent approach. No more questions 😊. Thankyou

I was looking for this information and came across this video posted yesterday. Your timing is impeccable!

[breakingburque]

I love that you explain why not only when.

[skyz]

This will be a video that I 'll keep going back to because of your chart.

Extremely useful. Thank you Jason !

Thank you so much for demystifying roses. You have made a great impact on my garden by giving me the confidence to prune and shape my roses.
Ever since I discovered your YouTube channel, my roses have gone from spindly and out of control to beautiful bushes filled with flowers.

I have added you web page to my home screen.
