buford(7 NE GA)Updated January 25, 2015 Thank Christopher, I was. I am not that familiar with the PNW, but I have rose friends there and I don't think they have pruned yet. It's really up to you. I normally get roses leafing out at this time of year because we do get mi...

mustbnuts zone 9 sunset 9Updated January 25, 2015 Since I have palm trees and oak trees growing up in the middle of my rose bushes along with some roses reverting back to rootstock, I will be digging those roses out of my backyard bed. That means putting in new soil and amending ...

catspa_NoCA_Z9_Sunset14Updated January 24, 2015 I started pruning the day after Christmas here in Livermore, as usual. The frosts we get are not likely to be severe enough to damage roses though they will knock down unprotected, tender plants like nasturtiums and pelargoniums.
