Pruning, planting and caring for shrub roses

Shrub roses can be planted all year round. It is advisable not to do this during frost. For example, if you plant the roses in November, the bush rose can still root well and become established in the ground. The roses will then bloom beautifully in the spring. Pruning a shrub rose can be done every spring. The rose can be pruned back to 10 to 15 centimeters above the ground. Do you want to be sure that the rose gets enough energy; then add some rose fertilizer. After flowering, remove spent flowers.
