Lincoln Rose Pruning

18 years ago

I live in Central Alabama and am babying a Lincoln Rose bush inherited from my Mother-in-law who is deceased. The bush was transplated to my yard two years ago and I have not yet pruned it. I need some wise person to guide me on pruning. It still has 3 blooms on it this morning. I also rooted 5 plants from it this summer and have just put them in their own pots from their baggies I rooted them from. Any special love I need to give them? Everyone who sees this rose bloom wants a bush and rooting them kind of keeps my sweet mother-in-law close. Thanks for the help.

Let Mr Lincoln go to sleep now and wait until March to prune.
