As I understand it, the usual teaching is to prune spring-flowerers (if at all) after flowering, rather than in winter.

My understanding from Graham Stuart Thomas is that the spring flowerers actually can be pruned in winter. It condenses the display and improves the flower quality, but only up to a certain point. It looks like Lasour really shows his/her plants who the daddy/mommy is in winter.

It will be interesting to hear what Lasour's practice is.
I keep learning about roses.
