Pruning 'Nearly Wild' Roses: Hedge Trimmer Method for Landscape Roses

'Nearly Wild' is a landscape floribunda that covers ground densely. It thrives without pruning but can be shaped with an electric hedge trimmer for a thick, bushy form. Remove dead/twiggy growth by hand. Hedge trimmers give even results—go slowly to avoid a chewed look. Mulch for cool roots.
