How big a pot is it?
How big is the rose plant?
How long has it been in the pot?
Where are you located?

If it is new this spring, I would recommend strongly that you simply snip off, or snap off, the faded bloom, and avoid any further "pruning" for the present.

The pot is about 9 inches
the rose is still pretty small, the root system as well.
i re-potted it 3 days ago, before that it was potted for about a year.
im in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

yes ma`am, i think this is good advice too. thank you so much for your help.

Pruning doesn't promote growth unless the plant is already big, with plenty of nutrient energy stored in the tissues. What promotes growth in a young plant is sunshine on the leaves, so don't remove leaves unnecessarily.
