Rose pruning

[cantgetabus]

Can anyone help please with guidance about how/where I should prune this rose plant?

It was a special gift so I don't want to kill it.

Thanks!

The RHS has a guide to pruning roses

If you want to keep it healthy, it needs to get into the ground and out of the pot.

Agree with getting it out of the pot (or into a much bigger one) with a load of added manure, or similar.

As for pruning, it looks like quite a nice open shape already so I would just take each branch back by at least 1/2 to just above an outward facing bud.

You cannot go too far wrong with pruning roses so don't overthink it

Thank you so much.
