With winter coming to an end and spring on the horizon, now is the perfect time to think about pruning roses.

Here are our top tips to bear in mind:

🌹 Cuts should be no more than 5mm (¼ in) above a bud and should slope downwards away from it

🌹 To ensure cuts are clean, keep your secateurs sharp and for larger stems, use loppers or a pruning saw

🌹 Aim for well-spaced stems that allow free air flow

🌹 On established roses, cut out poorly flowering old wood and saw away old stubs
