Rose pruning

Hi all live in east anglia can I prune my older front bush roses at the moment? Night temp tonight min O and twixt 2 and 5 for rest of week? Daytime temp mild. Only they are really starting up and leafing now. Did cut back a bit November but need doing again. Don’t want to leave it too late?

    Yes, but just make sure no frost is forecast as this can damage newly cut stems.

    We're expecting actual temps around 0C to 2C as well but with a wind chill factor making it feel much colder so I'm waiting a  week.  However, our plot is exposed to winds from all sides.  If yours is sheltered you should be OK.
