Tree Rose (Standard) Pruning and Winter Care in Containers

Tree roses in pots need winter protection for roots (below 20°F) but stay outdoors. Prune:

• Minor in December (remove crossing branches).
• Major in late February (cut back by half to outward buds).
• Stake securely to prevent wind rocking.

Treat like any rose—just protect the pot.
