What, where, when of pruning shrub roses

Rosebuddies - What, where, when of pruning shrub roses: "

What are you trying to achieve?
What you are doing is to cut out some of the old flowering wood from last year to encourage fresh new flowering shoots to grow.
What do you do in the Spring?
First, take out any dead or weak shoots.
Then remove any that are growing into the middle or rubbing against other shoots.
Then remove about 25% of the old shoots (cut to about 6in from the ground).
If your rose flowers twice per year, you should cut all the remaining shoots to about 1/3rd of their height.
Remember, always try to cut just above an outward pointing bud.
What next?
Feed and mulch immediately after pruning. Click here for more details.
What do you do in the summer?
If you are growing a rose for its hips, then leave the faded blooms on.
Otherwise, to encourage a second flowering, snap off any fading blooms."
