Default Pruning roses

Is it ok to prune roses when they've started coming into bud? I was
waiting for the last frost to be over before I pruned the rose bushes
but noticed today that they're starting to get new buds on them
already.


Cut the roses to a length that the winter winds will not cause the plant to
rock to and fro and disturb the roots, this should be done in the autumn,
but better late than never. Then in the spring you can prune the roses for
the summer, but remember to feed after pruning,
