I'm revisiting the topic of rose pruning, focusing on the traditional "rules" and gardening folk wisdom. Some make a lot of sense, others depend on the situation, and yet others are without merit in my opinion. You may remember that I did this topic with basically the same points a few years ago, but since then I've upgraded from SD video to 4K, so I figured it was time for a refresh.
Here's the timeline:
00:00 Intro
00:40 Prune when the forsythia blooms
02:27 Reduce to 5 stems at 18"
03:43 Focus first of dead, diseased, damaged & crossing stem
05:27 Prune to outwards-facing buds
06:38 Use clean & sharp tools
08:00 Angle your pruning cuts
09:55 Open the center
