I live in Bay Area in California. I wanted to find out when to do the winter pruning of roses. We have about 6 floribunda rose trees.

Growing Roses in Marin - Calendar of Rose CareJanuary:
Prune established roses, clean up all cuttings, leaf litter and remove from the garden. Also remove weeds. Plant new roses (bare root season), and water well. Keep new plants protected with mulch to prevent drying out. If desired, apply a dormant spray before new growth begins; include spraying soil around plants.
Reply:You can do the pruning anytime from now until February. First cut out any dead canes and then trim the entire bush down to about knee high.
