Modern Ever-Blooming Roses
Roses like hybrid teas, grandifloras, floribundas, and miniatures
produce the best flowers on new or current season's wood. To ensure
this type of wood, these roses are pruned very hard in early spring.
This usually means removing about one-half to two-thirds of the
plant's height and reducing the number of canes.

to most modern ever-climbing roses |
Suggested pruning sequence:
- Remove all dead canes; cut them off at the base or point
of discoloration.
- Remove small, weak canes.
- Leave 3 to 5 healthy, stout canes evenly spaced around the
plant.
- Cut these canes back, leaving 3 to 5 outward-facing buds.
