More Information
Note: Many gardeners do their pruning in the late fall. Waiting until late winter or early spring (while the plant is still dormant) is often recommended in colder climates. Leaving the old canes standing through the winter helps trap snow, which insulates the plant's roots and provides vital moisture.
