If you're in a cold-winter climate, should you prune your rose in the fall? Usually my answer is to wait. The early spring (or after first bloom for once-bloomers) is usually a better time to address the size, shape and health of your rose with structural pruning. By then, you'll be able to see what damage has been done by winter cold. However, if your roses have an unruly streak, they may have sent up some stems that are vulnerable to damage from winter wind or snow. In this video, I'll show you some examples of preventive pruning to protect roses from winter damage.
I should say a couple more things I didn't have time to address in the video. 1) of course if you're in a climate with no serious cold, it makes no sense to wait until spring, and you're more likely to tackle your structural pruning in the coolest part of the year. 2) if you're in a climate much colder than mine, you may also be offering some winter protection to your roses in the form of wrapping/covering/mounding with soil. It's still a good idea to time this protection carefully and let your roses see some cold beforehand. A touch of cold can help settle them into dormancy, which makes them more likely to survive the conditions inside the protective layer.
