Except for the Home Run and Knockout rosebushes that is. Those only get a shaping pruning in early spring. Shaping pruning is needed throughout the growing season with some of my rosebushes to keep them looking nice and helps stimulate more nice growth. Yes I love to prune and my current Power Gear pruners are needing replacement soon. They have a great long pole type pruner called the Power Stroke too, it works great to prune the rosebushes when folks like me just cannot get down on the ground like I used to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3070488376505303445.post-88982539137213882942015-06-25T08:05:49.200-04:002015-06-25T08:05:49.200-04:00I like to deadhead my plants.
