<human>:  How to I properly prune rose bushes?
<bot>: The best way to prune rose bushes is to cut off any dead, diseased, or otherwise broken canes. Be sure to remove any canes that are growing inwards towards the center of the plant. Make sure to leave enough healthy canes on the bush so that it looks full and balanced. When cutting, make sure to make your cuts at an angle and make sure to cut above an outward-facing bud. After pruning, be sure to fertilize the bush and monitor for pests and disease to ensure the health of the rose bush.
