"Pruning is essential for maintaining the health and shape of most rose bushes. It not only enhances their appearance but also improves air circulation, lowers the risk of disease, and promotes fresh growth and blooming.

But in spite of what many might think, the best time for that pruning is not once the bush has started to produce its foliage in early spring. Nor is it in summer or fall when the bush is still actively growing. Why? Because pruning at all of these times can actually do more harm than good for the plant."  Comment from This Is My Garden
