Pruning Patio roses

Emptynester

Sorry if this is in the wrong place this is my first post on Greenfingered. I planted some patio roses last year, it's the first time I have grown roses. I know they need pruning soon but I was wondering if this is the right time, I'm just a bit unsure in view of the winter we have had and things being a little later this year. I am in urban Gloucesteshire if this helps.

TIA

Yes it's ok to prune roses in March. I'm going to do my one rose bush this week. I tend to take mine right down, they don't seem to mind

Patio roses shouldn't need pruning. You could tidy them up a little if you really want to and cut out any dead wood but they'll be fine if left alone.

Thank you chrisaj and Mojisola I will prune them this week. Various sites I had looked at online said to prune them but I was just worried about the weather. I'll get on with it.

Thanks
