Rugosa Roses (Remove faded flowers prune)

Remove faded flowers, prune back slightly and thin out any canes that crowd each other and tend to make the bush too dense, preventing a free circulation of air. Every few years it will be advisable to renovate the bush by cutting the entire growth back to within 2 or 3 feet of the ground. This work is best done in February or early March before the sap becomes active. [128]
