Hi Pauline,
In Florida the temperature is probably high enough that your roses aren't going dormant. That's not terrible for some varieties that don't need winter chill to flower. I think some people defoliate their roses to induce dormancy, but you probably don't need to do that. If you expect temperatures to get colder, then wait and see if the roses go dormant (lose leaves). If that happens, you want to prune when the weather is changing, and the roses are coming out of dormancy for the spring. If it is so warm in Jacksonville that your roses never go fully dormant, then you can just prune them when you feel like it. Pruning them won't cause them to go dormant -- quite the opposite, it will wake them up and send the message to them that they need to grow.

This question isn't really applicable to strictly organic rose growing, so next time you have a question about pruning, or if you want more advice about this, ask on the Rose forum, not the Organic Rose forum. There are Florida-based rose growers on that forum who can give you more specific advice, and people check that forum more frequently than this one. Good luck!

Awesome thanks for the info and the correction. I will ask the Rose forum.
