Depends on what zone you are in.

Srgnt,

I am in Northern California, San Jose.

So what ZONE is that ? I'm not interested in looking it up myself.
Gardening schedules are recommended by "zone", not by city.

That's an old map. The zones have changed.

It also depends on the cultivar.

Still old, sorry.

My zone changed drastically, but I'm still not buying into it. I'll
continue, at least for the next 3-4 years, to treat the plants I grow as
being 5b. The new map, however, shows us as zone 6. The changes were quite
drastic, especially for the midwest, with some areas increasing by two
zones, while some mountain areas went down two zones.

Global warming, anyone?

Is it my imagination, or do buffalo wings taste like chicken?

Looks like my zone is still the same as before, I am in 9A/9B.

Does anyone know what month I should cut my roses?

what kind of roses do you have?

As important as the zone you're in, what kind of rose? What cultivar? Some
produce buds on new growth, some on old wood, and some on both. They aren't
all treated the same.

I beg your pardon, I never promised you a rose garden.

Martha, it doesn't look like anyone wants to answer your question. I don't
think roses are that sensitive. For tea roses, bush roses and climbers, I'd

(1) Cut flowers when freshly blooming if I wanted to put them into a vase;
(2) Deadhead old blooms whenever I had time in the garden
(3) In severe climates, trim them back when they went dormant in the fall,
then cover them with straw or mulch to protect them from severe low
temperatures
(4) In other locations, deadhead them as they went tormant, then prune them
back to get new growth once things have started to warm in the springtime.

There's a bunch of more specific information at
http://www.urbanext.uiuc.edu/roses/prune.html. Although it pertains to
Illinois, you'll see help for specific types of roses and should be able to
extrapolate to California. Regards --
