What gardening zone are you in ? I would stop pruning at about this time if I was up North. I prune, well actually deadhead, and rarely prune my garden in Florida.

I really only prune if I am trying to cut out diseased wood or to try to force new growth.When you prune, you encourage new growth. If this new growth gets hit by frost etc not good!

The way I treat my roses is NOT how many others will baby roses. I have been known to use electric hedge trimmers on ramblers , noisettes, and climbers. But hopefully, someone else will chime in.

Try to find out what growing zone you are in. More than likely, you will find someone in your area, or who is knowledgeable of your area!

What I do in Florida would not work in PA. I also am gardening in PA to try to balance pollen needs. Red Clay, Shale, and Bluestone is a world different from sand. Best of Luck
