knockout roses

Question

We live in Ocala Florida. Have knockout roses. they boomed beautifully, southern living magazine says that we should trim them now, what do you think?

Answer 1

You should be able to do a light shaping pruning. If they are growing very actively now, do a very light shaping pruning. It is easy to prune them too much and lose most of a bloom cycle. In your area you should be okay.
