Roses are planted bare-root from October to March and pruned in March, when forsythia blooms. Repeat-flowering varieties then bloom from May until the frosts.

The tips that matter
- Prune bush roses in March to 3-5 buds, cutting above an outward-facing bud — the reliable cue is forsythia in flower.
- Deadhead above the first true 5-leaflet leaf: that is what triggers repeat flowering.
- Water at the base, never over the foliage: black spot and mildew love wet leaves.
