How to prune prosperity rose

Late winter for annual pruning; deadhead after each flowering flush in summer. Shorten all main shoots by about one-third in late winter and side shoots by up to half. In summer, deadhead by cutting back spent clusters to an outward-facing bud. Remove old, woody base canes occasionally to encourage replacement growth from below.
