How to prune lavaglut rose

Late winter to early spring; deadhead spent flower clusters throughout summer. Cut back overall height by one-third, remove any canes older than 3 years at the base, and clear dead or crossing wood. Deadhead by cutting the spent truss back to a strong outward bud or leaf.

Annually (moderate prune); deadhead every 1–2 weeks. Lavaglut (also sold as 'Intrigue' in some markets) is a cluster-flowered floribunda needing moderate annual pruning rather than the hard cut-back used on hybrid teas. Remove about one-third of height in late winter, thin out old woody canes, and deadhead spent clusters to keep it blooming freely all season.
