Is It Possible To Do A Hard Prune During The Summer On Rose Bushes?

Question

Do to a bad hip and hip surgery I didn’t get roses pruned in the fall or the spring.

Answer 1

It's too late to do a hard pruning, but you can lightly prune the rose bushes for now. When you are deadheading the roses, cut back further than you normally would to reduce the height.
