I live in northeast kansas and is it too late to trim my rosebushes?

Answer 1

Here is a KSU web page about growing roses. http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/library/hort2/MF799.PDF They say the best time for pruning is early spring after all frosts are over with and before new growth begins. But best doesn't mean only -- if you have new growth already, you can still prune.

You can find a lot of gardening info here: http://www.oznet.ksu.edu/

Answer 2

Its not to late...its too early.

If you didn't prune in late late fall just wait until the rosebush shows early buds/sprouts of side growth, then cut off all the dead and thin looking branches first;then trim for height and shape.

You want at a minimum of 3-4 strong looking canes/branches
that will bear size-able roses.
