How to prune potted roses

It is more appropriate to prune potted roses in early spring every year before the branches sprout, or they can also be pruned when the flowers fade.

When pruning potted roses, it is best to cut off densely growing branches, crossed branches, and diseased and insect-infested branches with one knife. After flowering, the withered flowers should be cut off as soon as possible, and the dead branches and diseased leaves on the plant should also be cut off in time.
