Will they be ok this year or have I done too much damage to them? I hope not any tips to help me make them recover? 1 Answers 0 Vote Up Vote Down Gerry Daly Staff answered 7 years ago Roses will sprout at any time of the growing season but late pruning delays flowering but they will recover. You could apply some rose food to speed up matters.
