I pruned my minis way down in fall...did I prune too far?

| In fall I pruned my minis down like I do my perennials. I stored them over the winter in the garage. They all show growth and I have taken them out of the garage. I'm concerned now that I pruned them too far. Will they grow enough to look like a mini? I just read that I should have pruned them in the spring and only cut out the dead canes. Any more detailed information on pruning would be appreciated. Thanks! Sue |

| Most roses are quite resiliant to heavy pruning. I bet they'll be just fine. |

| If they're showing new growth they should do fine. But remember, they are bushes not perennials so don't be so drastic next time. It's better to prune in spring. |

| Thanks for your comments. The minis all have new growth. Thanks for your help. |

| Mini's are tuff little buggers! I know folks that have them outside, and have run over them with a lawnmower to prune them in the spring and they have been just fine! |
