I always prune mine in early spring, just leave them to do their own thing over winter. No idea if that's correct but seems to work. You can go pretty hard on roses. Look for the nodes where new growth will start. If you can see some and they look healthy, it's probably alright to cut down to 2" above them.

The advice can be pretty specific and not always agreeing, depending on whether they are climbers, ramblers or shrubs. For me I'd just say as long as they are dormant it'll be fine - December to March probably, assuming this bizarre mild weather comes to an end soon

When is the best time to prune the roses? They’re still flowering so I’d like to hold on to that as long as possible but I’d also like to see them next year! Also, how much do I take off? Complete novice, but keen. Thanks.
