the white background was a GREAT idea. I was just watching another pruing video and my main problem was not enough contrast to see what they were doing
I am recently a first time home owner and our property has beautiful roses but I had no idea how to prune them. Until now. This was so incredibly helpful! Thank you!
Thank God you said what you did about what to do if you have a large bush that is basically overgrown! Cut off at 30 inches. We moved to our new home in January and the rose bush in the front is growing wild and I had no idea what to do with it but this has helped me feel much more confident in cutting it back! Thank you!!!
I have 52 roses in my garden here in the UK and little gardening experience. Neighbours have tried to show me what to do, but end up taking over. These videos are amazing and I now feel confident to get my roses looking spectacular for next year: this year, beautiful blooms but a bit of a mess with tall growth spurts everywhere! Thank you so much 😊
52! My heavens! Make sure you stand w your neighbors + ask lots of questions about your plants. As you identify them, as they bloom, people will tell you, but always snap a pic and use a plant identification app on your phone. Then, engrave that variety's name, say, "Lady of Shalott," onto a copper tag and figure out a way to permanently affix that tag or sign, inti the ground at plant's base. You will love learning their variety names and, then, you can read all about each one! Enjoy! Someone left you a beautiful gift.
I haven’t even made it thru half of your video & I have learned more from you than many wasted hours on the best way to prune a rose I love the fact that you explain why & what you are trying to achieve specifically getting us up close & personal so we can actually see what you are doing !! Thank you so much for your time & sharing this with us.. I am definitely a fan again Thank You
Utterly fantastic! I NEEDED this step by step demonstration, and you answered so many of the questions I've had. I've never seen anyone talk about cutting out the canes that have already been pruneda lot and are forked, etc. Now I know how to handle this, without fear! Also, the cleaning out - very helpful! Thank you so much!
Had to pause at about 2:20, this gentleman made the comment about the bush can be overwhelming to some of us. I thought I was the only one, that pretty much over thinks how I need to cut my rose bushes. So, this is pretty cool I found this gentleman, talking about how to take things slow and easy, lol, basically not to get stressed! Initially at the beginning of the video when he just lops off the top of the bush with those battery operated pruners, I was like nooooo! Lol So, I'm glad I stumbled across this video, thank you to those who uploaded it and the gentleman in this video who understands those of us who really care about our rose bushes!
@@SQTierHog Ha! I didn't think so! It was like you had read my mind and said exactly what i was thinking! I loved the reaction to lopping off over half that plant! 😂 Happy pruning!
Do the same thing to your rose bush and you will regret it as it will take a year and half to grow back . I am not a fan of over pruning and cutting it down to the ground. I loved the way he admitted one error 😂 there was many. I love his videos very informative. I will keep watching and learning.
Never had a Rose plant before I moved to a new house. This was great ! We are in early October in Puyallup, wa so I will wait until after the 31st and follow what you did. thanks!
I've been going through all your pruning videos, and each of them are wonderful. You present the same basics, but there's just a little bit extra in each one that I hadn't heard before.
Thank you SO MUCH for this tutorial! I can remember PRUNE! I never pruned my rose because honestly I was afraid of “butchering” the plant! But today - I got sick of looking at a 3 foot empty cane with a bloom on top. It looked like a rose tree - which I hate! So I took a deep breath and prayed for the best. I did leave a few long woody stems (baby steps). Hopefully now my Queen Elizabeth will show me what she’s really made of! Then come fall - I know what to do! I’m already looking forward to next year! 😊. Thanks again!
I learned so much. This video was so detailed that I am not intimidated at all any longer. I have my first plant across the street for a neighbor. Her rose bush is a 3 year falling over mess. The "PRUNE" method is a great way to approach many plants that you prune. Thank you for this video!
I like it that you make it (seem) so simple. I will have to work up the courage but I am going to follow your P.R.U.N.E. method here in Zone 7. Helllo from NYC!
Amazing video! Thank you! I know I will refer to it again and again. I have two roses from your company in my garden so far and I am looking forward to lots of blooms this summer.
We inherited a mature, overgrown rose when we bought our house (here in Oregon too!). These are helpful! Going to be cutting the rose way back in October and then pruning it down to about 18 inches in February/March.
At 15:20 something, when he cut one off, but realized he made a mistake and shared that, I appreciate his mindset. I definitely need to adapt his approach, because I've done stuff like that, reach in, cut one off and as I pull it out I realize oops... I don't think I wanted to do that, and kind of beat myself up for a little bit. Again, most people I don't think even understand, because they're 'just plants', or what have you. Obviously, this gentleman understands. One thing I do have to remember, is one thing I do love about roses, is ...as beautiful and delicate as the blooms seem to be (although 'Peace' is a buff bloom! Seems bullet proof, lol), I have to remind myself how tough these plants are. You can even see rose bushes that are on the side or around a building that's been neglected or shut down for a long time, but that rose bush is still hanging in there, right? Lol.
Just pruned my first bare root and wasn’t sure if I should cut the branching canes. I’m going to go ahead and prune those. I thought I was prepared after reading some pruning articles but was completely intimidated once i had the plant in front of me😂. It’s reassuring seeing an expert rose grower agonize over which canes to get rid of as well!
I just pruned my 2 rose bushes in the back yard. I may have killed them. 😂😂😂 If they die, they die. Really want them out. That happens when you just let them go! Been here for 9 years and I dont think they've ever been pruned properly. Besides the hedge trimmer to knock them down a bit. We'll see how it goes. Personally I would have taken a few more off your bush. Seems it will be too much competition when they grow out. Thanks for the vid.
Is this process the same for climbing roses? It seems like no since you want the rose to climb? Would love a video on that. I’ve got six climbing roses coming from you in the next week and I can’t wait! Absolutely love these videos. Very informational and clear thank you!
Great question! The process is a different for climbing roses. Here is a link to our video on pruning and training climbers: th-cam.com/video/iNfSaH5fLUM/w-d-xo.html
Most of my DA roses are from you. Thank you ! You're the best nursery in USA. Do climbers throw basal breaks, canes from the stock root? How do I encourage that??? Would love for my Crowned Princess Margareta from you threw some more basal breaks. Thank you.
The more pruning seasons your rose goes through, the more Basel breaks and canes your rose will produce, so give it time. Be sure to check out our pruning for climbing roses video if you haven't yet!

Excellent! You explain & show, I was terrified, on where to cut below the bud etc... just one question we had such bad weather now I'm pruning in late May is this OK??.😮😅 Thank you v much 👏👍🇮🇪🌹🌹🌹
Thanks for your video; very easy to see what you are doing... ... I have a question about how roses grow. Some grow tall canes which flower at the top such as Tea roses; others branch out as they grow up, branch again and so on, somewhat like forming a structure.... So, pruning the branching (chicken feet) canes of a tea rose makes sense but a shrub rose such as a floribunda needs those branches in order to flower all over the bush.. My questions is this: do you prune roses how they want to grow? (bush or tea)? I believe you pruned this one so it will grow how you want it to.... how will that influence the way it wants to grow?
Good question! there is some shaping that goes into pruning but often the bread of the rose will determine the growing pattern and size. Here is a link to an article with more information. heirloomroses.com/blogs/how-to-articles/pruning
I had always seen my mother put Elmer's glue on the end of a snipped rose cane... I'm guessing this is a no go since I didn't see any craft glue in sight during this video 😅
ive ordered the Golden Celebration and Koko Loco roses… im a first timer so do you have any general tips and guidelines I should know before planting these roses? im putting them in pots. thanks
Golden Celebration and Koko Loco are great choices! We have a helpful article and video on planting your roses, as well as more article on rose care on our website. Here is a link to the information on planting your roses: heirloomroses.com/blogs/how-to-articles/planting-roses
How many years do we have to wait from planting the potted rose from you until we prune? The shrub roses I got from you range from 3 - 6 feet, do they all get pruned in the same height from the ground?
Im just wondering if all your cuts, working from the bottom up, are being cut above a node? This is how I was taught at one landscpe company I i worked for.
Great question, we do recommend cutting a little bit above the node at 90 degree angle. The rose will produce new growth from that node and the right angle will prevent water from sitting in the open spot on the cane.
I have several roses from Heirloomroses, one being the iconic Earth Angel which grew gigantic this summer. Is it possible to train it to grow into a giant tree? I just want one giant rose while the rest can be maintained in smaller size.
Earth Angel is a wonderful rose, and we highly recommend it. I have not seen it grown that large. However, we do have a selection of climbing and rambling roses that might be fit the bill. Here is a link to our selection: heirloomroses.com/collections/ramblers?limit=12 heirloomroses.com/collections/climbing-roses?limit=12
@@heirloomroses I just purchased the Eden climber 😁. Also, I went and re-measured the Earth Angel…it put out 6 new canes at 6ft 1 in; it seems all of my roses this year are growing to be 6 ft+ including Mother of Pearl.
I have an own root Mutabilis rose. I've had it at least 10 years. After the initial growth I haven't had any new canes from the base. It has more in common with a tree with the central leader than a rose. Should I prune around this frame work or (gulp) cut it even with the ground and hope to kick it in gear?
That is a great question. If you want to send a photo of your rose to our Customer Care Team, they can give you some specific advice about what steps to take for pruning to encourage your plant to produce basal breaks and new canes. You can contact them at info@heirloomroses.com.
I have lots of canes but it still has green growth on the top, it’s a climbing rose bush almost 10 ft high. It’s 98 degrees in San Antonio, TX , should I still prune? Help.🥰
Does this apply to any type of rose? My David Austin roses all have spindly stems. They were planted last year and I pruned out all spindly stems, save 3-5 of the healthiest ones. But those too had a lot of "chicken feet". How can I get my roses to grow thick stems from the base?
Thank you for reaching out. As your rose gets more established the canes will become thicker, and some varieties of roses naturally have slightly thinner and more flexible canes. One way to make sure your rose thrives is to fertilize regularly throughout the growing season.
We recommend that you don't do a hard prune this time of year. But you can trim it back and shape your rose now to encourage new growth a better shape. When spring comes again you can do a hard prune of your roses and they will be beautiful by summer.
I got a serious question, please: I inherited a property with about 50 rose bushes and they are high as 4-8ft tall, and growing out with a radius that’s just about the same. Do I do this to the bushes trim them down to 3ft?
Hello! Good question, it can take about 3 years for a rose to reach full maturity, and since all our roses are grown on their own root the shoots from the ground are true to the variety. I hope this helps!🌹
Hello, training a normal bush rose as a climber would be a difficult but somewhat doable task. I would recommend using a larger bush with long canes. It would take a lot of care and patience, and most likely would not result with a bush that is the same quality and form of a true climber.
Hello! Here is a link to an article and videos with some more information on pruning your rose! I hope this helps!🌹 heirloomroses.com/blogs/how-to-articles/pruning
Hello, this video is filmed in the early spring. The part where we use the hedge trimmer to remove the log canes was done in October to ensure that the rose would be manageable when spring came. We recommend doing your pruning in the spring for the best results.
Hi! Our own root rose are remarkably hardy and will bounce back very quickly from this pruning! This level of cut back encourages new growth, improves airflow around the plant, and opens it up so that it will grow back. stronger and fuller. If you have any other concerns or questions, please reach out to our Customer Care Team. They would be more than happy to assist you with the care of your rose! They are available Monday through Friday 5:00 am to 4:00 pm PST at 800-820-0465, by chat at HeirloomRoses.com, or via email at info@heirloomroses.com. Have a beautiful day! 🌹
Hello! While the sparse/pruned look might not look the greatest for a short time, as spring rolls in, your rose will begin to push several new canes and new growths. These new canes will cause the rose to fill out again, and to produce even more prolific growth and blooms than the previous year.

Hello, training a normal bush rose as a climber would be a difficult but somewhat doable task. I would recommend using a larger bush with long canes. It would take a lot of care and patience, and most likely would not result with a bush that is the same quality and form of a true climber.
How old is that plant at the time of the video?
Hello! This rose is around 3 years old. 🌹
Would have been nice to see the rose prepped first, from start to finish.
Hello! Here is a link to an article and videos with some more information on pruning your rose! I hope this helps!🌹 heirloomroses.com/blogs/how-to-articles/pruning
He does ALL this in Oct?? and is not afraid that the winter will kill the new shoots?
Hello, this video is filmed in the early spring. The part where we use the hedge trimmer to remove the log canes was done in October to ensure that the rose would be manageable when spring came. We recommend doing your pruning in the spring for the best results.
When I did this to our roses the first time my husband was sure I killed them.

Why do some canes die?
Good question! There are a variety of reasons a cane could die it depends on the rose, care, and its environment.
That is over pruned and it will take a year and a half to bounce back 😮
Hi! Our own root rose are remarkably hardy and will bounce back very quickly from this pruning! This level of cut back encourages new growth, improves airflow around the plant, and opens it up so that it will grow back. stronger and fuller.

I am thinking I am the oddball here. I don't like the sparse look.
Hello! While the sparse/pruned look might not look the greatest for a short time, as spring rolls in, your rose will begin to push several new canes and new growths. These new canes will cause the rose to fill out again, and to produce even more prolific growth and blooms than the previous year.
What are your thoughts on climates like California though? I usually have them bloom all year.
So a cut cane never grows right from the cut, right? It always will branch out at a bud just below the cut, right?
