Thanks angel_wings. Sometimes I struggle to know how much to include (and not!) so it's nice to know when I hit close to the mark.

Anvil pruners are meant to be used on dead wood, whereas bypass pruners are intended for use on live plant material.

This is the best video on rose pruning I've seen. He doesn't drag it out. Clear and simple instructions. I really appreciate it.

Dude is so brave - removing those cuts with no gloves. I can feel splinters just thinking about doing that!

Jason takes the scary out of rose care. And I love how he gets to the point on each presentation. This is how it’s done folks! No worries!

Don't apologize, I will probably watch this whole thing again before I prune! Thanks for the tutorial.

This was EXACTLY what I needed. Thanks!

Jason, I know this is quite an old posting, but I feel that I must thank you for this and the follow-up video that shows how the plant came back. Amazing! I've been gradually working on cutting back an enormous old rose bush that was on our property when we bought the house several years ago. Letting us observe your cuts was so encouraging. I've been a bit overwhelmed by my project, and feel that now I can make those brave cuts and not be afraid that I'm killing this beautiful rose bush! Thank you! I have subscribed to your channel, as I'm sure I'll learn more of what I need to know to keep my roses healthy.

It was painful. You are fearless

This was great. I knew the vigorous Knockout rose would recover easily, because my mother has often pruned her repeat blooming roses without any mercy.

What a wonderful informative video Jason - thanks so much.

Thank you, so much! Pruning here in the Sonoran Desert 🌵🌵. Juli, Tucson, AZ

When pruning for me is much easier after cutting to use lopers to pull the branch out. That both saves my hands of thorns as well saves energy and back from bending down. Also disposing of cut out branches is both faster and more compact, because the lopers are used to reach destination fast and immediately cut the branch to better fit destination. Just a suggestion.

Thank you for your excellent video on hard pruning an overgrown rose! 🌹 it wasn’t too long at all. It was just very informative.

Great video, thanks for the added recommendations at the end!

I love your Channel deffo one of the best rose sources on here, if not the best 👍 so I must say thank you for your time spent making these videos 😀. I agree with you on the Anvil style lopers, and secetures for that matter, I always favoured the by-pass style.

Love your instructions! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Feeling braver already. 😍

A very nice update, I'd love to see what's going next . My mom used to plant rose, but she never cutting the strech, lol

So I planted knockout roses in my rose bed with Tea roses and Floribundas. Now I know I'd better be vigilant about pruning as I had no idea a knockout rose could get so enormous.

Thanks for the video Jason. So informative and helpful.

Thanks especially for mentioning that it was late May! I just pruned my rose bush way back for the first time yesterday, 5/28 (it was here when we bought the house two years ago, and I’m learning about gardening as I go), and was afraid I did it wrong. And now I see that I just should have gone down even farther, but I just didn’t want to lose all the blooms and foliage at the top. 🙁 My mom called it a lollipop 🍭 bush 😂 But I guess it still has time to recover! Maybe I’ll be brave and cut it all way back. Thanks again, this video was just what I was looking for!

I don't know how accurate this is, but I heard something like 4 out of 10 roses sold in the USA were Knockouts - which is really astounding considering how many other varieties are competing for those remaining 6 spots in the garden. Mainly landscape and institutional plantings, I suppose, but it's easy to see why in a climate like yours, where the heat is going to make a lot of other roses struggle.

Heat resistance is quite a selling point, but having so many of the same rose cultivar could be a problem. Monoculture is rarely a good idea whether it’s a potato 🥔 or a rose🌹.

Thanks. I'm not too keen on root pruning. It's a lot of work, and I worry about the kind of "openings" it leaves for disease to enter the root system. If you're repotting anyway, I say go ahead and address any crossing or circling roots, but I wouldn't encourage you to dig it up annually for root pruning.

To answer your question, why would you want to use anvil pruners? They are designed primarily for use on deadwood, that is prone to damaging bypass cutting systems. Basically for deadwood that is not practical to use a saw on. Bypass cutters work best on living plant tissue, so just a different tool for a different job. Are they needed? I don't use anvil pruners in my landscaping work, or personally, but I can see why they are better for deadwood.

I also understand that they all need their own space my question is could I plant them to fill in all the fence ? I'm also wanting to plant miniature roses at the bottom. I planted them this way in New Mexico and it looked beautiful they thrived beautifully. If the large climbing rose was red I planted small white under it.

Massive overgrown rose. New Garden that was left to itself for about a year and a half. Know nothing about gardening, very grateful for your help. This summer I'm trying to learn the multitude of plants that were the last homeowners passion. A legacy garden I'd like to maintain. Rose Bush is hugely tall it's a climber and rambling sideways but too tall with not much bushing below these ceiling level far too high roses. Love roses, hate jaggy thorns. I'm about to try, wondering if i can take a cutting as I'm chopping a huge subsection of Bush above fence level. Any advices I'd be grateful for. It's high summer it feels like plant abuse, but watching this.. Think ill be keeping most for now just the same.

Good Day Jason. I just finished watching your video and your video was the first one I came across that really explained how to take care of overgrown (Knockout) roses. My roses have so many buds on them and are about to bloom within the week. I want to scale back on them because the roses brush against people as they walk by and come up to my front steps. Can I just wait until after the first bloom before I cut them back and secondly, I don't have that loop tool so can I just use regular old school hedge clippers?

Good morning sir, Thank you for knowledge of... disinfectant solution light bleach and water, ivory soap and water. Plus back in the day believe they used ivory soap on crops and tabacco and do you use it on flowers and plants for similar reasons. Thank you rose + plant enthusiasts

Thanks Jason that was really helpful. I have several rose bushes that had grown up above the surrounding plum trees! I hesitated to cut them way back, but after your video I will.

It depends on your climate a bit. In my mild coastal climate, I can get away with pruning all through the summer. In a much warmer climate, there may be a time when the plants are stressed, and you would avoid pruning. That said, a light pruning to remove dead/diseased/crossing branches is generally well tolerated on a healthy rose. If you do wait, you might choose to wait all the way to spring, which is generally the best time for a heavy prune.

@FraserValleyRoseFarm

Hi Athena - spring is the better time, no question. Easier to see (as you mentioned) but also less stressful to recover in the cooler weather. However with a well-established rose, you get a lot of flexibility on timing. These ones recovered quite nicely even though I pruned coming into summer. I guess one other point I'd like to make is that you can't always choose the perfect time to prune, and that's okay. Some people are far busier in one season or another, so they miss the best time - or maybe the timing is dictated by external factors (making room for other landscaping changes, life events like moving, etc)

I will be taking on a job of prunning 2 very overgrown rose bushes. I've never seen larger ones. They are 8-9 feet high and 4-6 feet wide. I'm not sure how severely they can be pruned without damaging them. They are in close proximity and growing into each other. Advice from anyone would be helpful.

Would gloves used on other plants have same effect as cutters before sanitization?

Hi Nan. Good to hear from you, and I'm happy that you're finding your roses a new home. Easier said than done, but as much undamaged roots you can preserve will help with the transplant. Start with a wide perimeter around the base of the shrub, and go slow if you can to get the max amount of roots. Otherwise, just prune the topgrowth as shown (a balance of roots and shoots will help with reestablishing). Don't add a lot of fertilizer to the new location at first - too much salt can be stressful on the transplant. Water regularly. Cross fingers. Best luck!
