‘Roses benefit from a spring prune once the worst frosts have passed and the buds are beginning to swell,’ advises Mark.

HOW: ‘Remove any dead, damaged or crossing stems first, then cut healthy growth back to an outward-facing bud to encourage an open shape and good airflow through the plant.’

IDEAL TOOL: Sharp bypass pruners.

WHY THIS TOOL WORKS: ‘Making clean, precise cuts will help promote healthy regrowth and plenty of blooms later in the season.’
