Is it damaging to the bushes to prune knockout rose bushes in the Fall? We have some in our community that have overgrown walkways and become hazardous to walking especially at night.

Certified ExpertA.They are best pruned in the spring or when they are dormant. Pruning any plant in the fall can encourage new growth that won't be hardened off by winter, which can result in damage. However, for safety's sake, you should lightly prune them at any time.

Certified ExpertA.Double Knockouts would be my go-to. The cultivar "Radrazz" seems to be the most resilient. These articles will help:

Our knock out rose bush is 7 ft. tall and crowding out a butterfly bush. How far down can it be trimmed?

Certified ExpertA.This will be done in two or three weeks from now, in the middle of February. You can cut these down all the way to about 12 inches from the ground if you'd like, but you don't have to take that much if you don't want to.
