I have a Rose that is already putting on new growth , is it too soon
to prune it ?

No, it's fine. I've always pruned in late autumn (in North Wales) with
no adverse results. In the 1960s when I was working for a well known
commercial rose grower in the east midlands - (think cold winters)
most of the regular staff were sent off the nursery to go and prune
the great man's roses just after Christmas. At that time the ground
was usually frozen hard which gave us the opportunity to break yet
more rules by wheeling barrowloads of fym across his lawns onto the
rose beds. In the summer his roses and his lawns were very good indeed.
