Hi Claris,

It is best not to prune in autumn, because pruning sends the rose signals that it needs to grow (rather than wind-down for the season and go dormant). Does it look really shaggy right now, or why do you want to prune it? You can often maintain a good shape by just deadheading after it blooms.
