Pruning your Roses

From Peter Beales Knowledgebase

This worries many gardeners but if you keep the rules simple it is quite a logical procedure.

In all pruning, dead and diseased wood should always be removed. If taking away an entire branch, try to leave as little of it behind as possible to avoid dead stumpy areas on the plant. All other cuts should be made above an outward facing bud and on an angle away from it, thus preventing rain-water sitting there.
