How to Prune hackie rose?

Plumed cockscomb, known for its striking plume-like flowers, benefits from regular pruning. Optimal timing is early to later spring to encourage vigorous growth and prolonged flowering. Prune spent blooms and any weak or leggy stems to maintain shape and health. Cut back to a healthy bud or leaf node, promoting a bushier plant. Regular pruning enhances airflow, reducing disease risk and ensuring vibrant displays. Always use clean, sharp tools to prevent damage or infection.
