Be even more savage when pruning roses!
No issues there. I've pruned roses before with a hedge trimmer. They didn't seem to mind. In fact, they flourished. Most of the roses in my garden got cut back to 6" stumps a few months ago in The Great Garden De-wilding. Most are now already over 3 feet tall. A couple are even flowering.
....plus virtual severing of the trunks to allow them to be laid, hopefully @edmundro will be along soon with the technicalities. It can look great in any setting. Be even more savage when pruning roses!
