Summary
In late winter, pruning certain dormant plants can boost spring growth and flowering by removing dead, diseased, or crowded stems and improving structure. February is ideal for trimming roses (except ramblers), cutting back up to one‑third to open the plant and promote airflow. Panicle and smooth hydrangeas benefit from pruning after hard frosts, which helps shape them and encourages robust blooms. In warmer climates, butterfly bushes should be cut back by about one‑third to prevent legginess and stimulate vigorous new shoots. Always prune on mild, dry days with sharp, clean tools to protect plant health and encourage abundant spring growth.
