when should i start pruning my roses

Doyou know what they are - just answered someone else's question on this - ramblers September, Climbers and hybrid teas Spring (though you can reduce the height now to prevent windrock) floribundas some now and some in the spring. If you want more info, get yourself a copy of D. G. Hessayon's the Rose Expert, about a tenner, tells you everything you want to know and more about roses, including how and when to prune.

I sometimes think that roses are like Women, they take some looking after and can get prickly but in the right hands they are well worth it and very rewarding -Lol

Your in trouble now Heron. Lol

Ha, ha, ha Heron - sounds about right to me, but I'd say the same about men too;-))
