Re: sap & pruning

Having lived in the coastal areas of California for some years, I
learned to prune things like roses at a rather arbitrarily chosen time.
That is, I had always read that December or January was the time to
prune, to discourage fresh growth and allow a semblance of dormancy.

Now that we have moved to the Sierras at 3000', and have a climate with
more cold weather, I was surprised to hear advice from a nurseryman
neighbor.  He said to prune things like roses when they begin to show
signs of new growth in the spring.  I told this to my friends back in
the more Mediterranean climate, and they didn't believe me.  So I will
be interested in any answers to Sheryl's question about pruning.
