When tackling roses bear the following in mind;

Cuts should be no more than 5mm (¼ in) above a bud and should slope away from it, so that water does not collect on the bud. This applies to all cuts, whether removing dead wood, deadheading or annual pruning

Cut to an outward-facing bud to encourage an open-centred shape. With roses of spreading habit prune some stems to inward-facing buds to encourage more upright growth

Cut to the appropriate height, if a dormant bud is not visible

Cuts must be clean, so keep your secateurs sharp. For larger stems, use loppers or a pruning saw

Prune dieback to healthy white pith

Cut out dead and diseased stems and spindly and crossing stems

Aim for well-spaced stems that allow free air flow

On established roses, cut out poorly flowering old wood and saw away old stubs that have failed to produce new shoots

With the exception of climbing roses, prune all newly planted roses hard to encourage vigorous shoots

Trace suckers back to the roots from which they grow and pull them away

These tips should be read in conjunction with the appropriate rose pruning profile.
