Expert Response

Thank you for your question, Mary. Although it is past the "ideal" time for annual maintenance, you can safely prune now. You might want to hold off just a few days, though, until this heat wave passes. Here's more information: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/gardening/flowers-shrubs-trees/pruning-roses

Good luck!
