Re: Well...it's cold!!! What is the best time to prune?

Bonnie,
I also remember the advice to quit cutting roses before it gets really cold to get the rose to go dormant.... otherwise it will continue to try to grow and not protect itself from the really cold.
I would think that goes for any plant.

This morning I awoke to a 13 F wind chill and actual temp of 20 F. All but
the one of two trees have dropped their leaves. Should I wait for the
ground to freeze before I prune or can I do that now? I've got a Rose of
Sharon and a number of walnuts that need a bit of pruning. What do all of
you recommend?

Blessings,
Bonnie (SW OH - zone 5)
