When should Rose of Sharron be pruned?

Answer 1

During dormancy and after the bloom is the best time to prune a rose of Sharon bush, but the woody plant in question (Hibiscus syriacus) may be pruned in accordance with the Ginezumi rule of the pruning "d's" -- damaged, diseased, (never been) done, dry, dying.

As long as the cut is not made into wet wood (which encourages canker) and with the provision that cutting during the bloom may affect flowering that year, but not thereafter.

Answer 2

Prune hard in late spring or early summer.

Answer 3

Roses can be pruned anytime but heavy pruning usually occurs in the wintertime.

Answer 4

There is no need to prune a Rose of Sharon unless space is a priority. If that is the case cut it back after flowering.
