<human>:  How can I properly prune a rosebush?
<bot>: Pruning a rosebush properly involves cutting back the branches of the rosebush, removing all deadwood, cutting back to three or five buds, and thinning out old canes. To prune, use sharp bypass pruners and cut back each stem at a 45 degree angle just above an outward-facing bud. Also, take out any crossed canes or branches that rub against each other to limit the chances of fungal diseases, as these can hinder the plants’ growth.
