Is it too early to prune my bush roses?

Our Advice:

To be safe you really should wait until mid-March. If you prune now and there is a hard frost, any new shoots which have developed will be damaged. After pruning spray the plants with Rosegarde from Vitax or Fungus Fighter Plus to help control Blackspot fungus.
