Hi. I prune all season, but the big cut back comes in February. All Hybrid Teas get cut back to 3' from the ground. Depending on where you live, the time of year may be different for you. Here's an excerpt from an article from Bayer Advance:
"Winter, when roses are dormant, is the best time to prune roses. For much of the country, January and February are ideal months. Where winters are very cold and hybrid teas require winter protection, it's best to wait until late winter or early spring to prune. By then, you can prune without worrying about the threat of further cold damage to your plants. "

Early spring and late Fall is the best time i grow over 40 types of roses and if i had more space my yard would be full of them, but the old man has to have his space too.

I do the light pruning in November, and then I do the hard cutting in February or early March.

You can cut bag woody branches at any time and give it a full cutback before the frost. Make sure you mulch over the bottom!
