I have five Knock-out Rose bushes. They will be pruned tomorrow. Has anyone else pruned their roses? If so, how far down do you prune? Last year, I pruned the rose bushes about 2/3 down. Within weeks the bushes were full and beautiful. I'll do the same this year. Marly

I think what you did last year is what most gardening books recommend, too. That's what I'm going to try to do myself. I have a hard time cutting my roses. I'm a wimp. LOL! But when I do prune harder, things always look better in the end.
