Question:

I live in North Carolina. When is the best time to prune roses?

Answer:

Most rose varieties benefit from an early-spring pruning when no more heavy freezes are expected. Remove winter-killed wood and weak, diseased, or crossing wood. Cut back strong, vigorous canes only as far back as necessary. --Gardening experts George and Becky Lohmiller, Hancock, New Hampshire
