These poor rose bushes have been left to their own devices all summer. The gruesome images below show the results. I REALLY want to prune them, but I don't know a thing about it. So I googled "how to prune roses" and watched some great videos on pre-winter pruning.
It's still sunny and beautiful here, and I guess my question is, how do I prune these poor plants right now? Can I cut them down to the bare branches this time of year? And also after you see the disturbing images below, any other advice for me?
Thanks in advance!
