Wayside Gardens horts say February is the month for pruning your roses. Some hybrid Teas need drastic pruning every year, the severity of which depends on what your intentions are for your roses. If you are pruning for professional exhibition and are looking to get nice big blooms, but maybe only a few, then you would need to prune within 3 to 4 inches of the ground. For normal garden display, 8 to10 inches will give the best results.
When pruning your roses, start by removing diseased or weak canes, cutting back to healthy wood. Next, if you have any canes that cross too closely, cut one of them back. Finally, cut back the rest of the canes to about 8 to 10 inches above the ground, pruning stronger canes less and weaker canes a little more. Of course, before you start any of this, please research your particular Tea variety, and be sure that there is no special treatment required. Some varieties do not respond well to strong pruning.
