Pruning once-blooming roses, which also include climbing roses, is best done in spring - remove dead shoots here.

Remove dead shoots
Pruning takes place in the spring. Dead shoots are completely removed. After flowering, shoots older than four or five years should be cut off just above the ground. The remaining shoots are thinned out by shortening the side shoots. However, this year's shoots should not be cut. This measure is also used for climbing roses. In the case of rambler roses (these are also roses that bloom once, but new varieties, the specialist trade can tell you which roses belong), on the other hand, are only rejuvenated every four to five years. Older shoots are also cut off close to the ground.
Leave young shoots
Leave the young shoots as this is where the flowers for next year will form. Anyone who keeps their roses in good condition will always enjoy lush blossoms and compact shrubs.
