Re: pruning

mea culpa and thanks to everyone who caught my major error - my 2 previously
described rose bushes are Carefree Delights, not Flower Carpets. The same
question prevails though - can I do some judicious pruning or is it best to
leave
them until early next spring? 
Also, has anyone seen Carefree Beauty? It was described to me by a reputable 
nurseryman as "coral", but the internet reveals a medium  pink with a bit of
lilac
overtone. I was also told that this bush will reach 5-6 ft.  One source on the
inter-
net said Carefree's are part of the Buck roses from Iowa State U. and these do
not
tend to hold up in our tough Chicago winters without damage.

Any comments?

Thanks, Joanie
