Different Pruning Regime: The quality and size of flowers can also be influenced by the severity with which plants are pruned: Hybrid Tea roses (now known as Large-flowered roses) need a quite different pruning regime from that required by a rambler rose, for example, or those used to form hedges.
Whether pruning Hybrid Tea or Floribunda bush roses, the initial task is the same.
• For newly planted Hybrid Teas and Floribundas to encourage strong shoots.
• For weak-growing Hybrid Teas.

First, cut out dead and diseased shoots, then those that cross the center of the shrub. At the same time, cut out thin and weak shoots. Next cut to just above a bud all those shoots that produced flowers during the previous year Pruning varies slightly according to the individual shrubs.

On The Other Hand See Candidates For Pruning And These:Woody plants are the prime candidates for pruning and these come in the form of ornamental shrubs (including conifers), climbers, hedges and topiary and trees, as well as fruit trees, bushes and canes. Roses are deciduous flowering shrubs which need regular pruning to keep them healthy and capable of creating a radiant display each year.
Pruning tools should be functional as well as comfortable to use. They must be kept sharp if they are to function easily and successfully. Wash and wipe them after use and, if they are not to be used for a few weeks, coat metal parts lightly with oil.
Pruners are available in two basic forms—scissor and anvil. The scissor-like type cuts when one blade passes the other while the anvil type has a sharp blade that cuts when in contact with a firm, flat, metal surface known as an anvil.
Use these for cutting shoots high on fruit trees or climbing plants. They cut shoots up to
I in thick and from branches I Oft high.
