This will increase air circulation and help prevent diseases. Since rose bushes send out new growth from the bud just below a pruning cut, try to make pruning cuts above a leaf bud facing out from the center of the plant. Make a cut inch above the bud and angled at the same angle as the bud. Whenever two canes cross each other, one can be removed. Deadheading is cutting off faded old flowers.
Hips are often very attractive and can be left on some roses for winter interest and bird food.
Hybrid tea roses and other roses that can rebloom should not be allowed to form hips, so that the plant will put its energy into flowering. To deadhead, remove the flower by making a diagonal cut just above the next five or seven-leaf branch down on the stem. This should be above a strong bud that will produce a healthy cane. All pruning cuts on canes greater than the thickness of a pencil should be sealed with nail polish or wood glue to prevent cane borers from entering. Prune first-year plants lightly to allow them to put more energy into establishing a strong root system.
