Mike,

Googling for "pruning shrub roses" brought up lots of websites, including
these:

http://www.rosebuddies.com/prun_shrub.html

http://doityourself.com/flowers/pruneroses.htm

http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/roses/p...dernshrub.html

Or you could try posting your request to the rec.gardens.roses newsgroup
(in
which case, you should mention where you live, since that group is
international).

We have 2-3 groups of shrub roses. (Not sure of the exact variety.
Flowers
are usually about 3cm diameter). They look healthy but the branches have
gotten very full. How do I prune/thin out these bushes.

When should I do this. I have no experience with other roses.

Thanks in advance.
