How to prune queen of sweden rose

Late winter to early spring when forsythia blooms; deadhead throughout summer. Prune main canes back by one-third to one-half, cutting to an outward-facing bud at 45 degrees. Remove weak, dead, or crossing stems at the base. Deadhead to the first five-leaflet leaf after each flush to encourage repeat bloom.

Hard prune annually in late winter; deadhead every few weeks through the growing season. Queen of Sweden is a sturdy, upright David Austin English shrub rose with excellent disease resistance. It repeats well and needs annual hard pruning in late winter to prevent it becoming top-heavy and to stimulate strong new flowering shoots. Regular deadheading through the season keeps flushes coming.
