January and February are considered the best months for pruning rose plants, as this should be done before new growth starts. Gardeners are advised to use clean and sharp pruners to remove any dead, damaged, diseased, or crossing canes, as well as canes that are thinner than a pencil. Cuts should be made just above a bud that faces outward from the plant. The extent of pruning required depends on the specific type of rose.
For additional guidance on how to prune roses properly, resources such as instructional videos and written tips are available online.
