It's time to prune my roses because the weather is getting colder. I have around 40 different varieties, and it takes for a while to prune them all, so I started doing it this week. The pruning ways are different for climbing roses and bush ones. I remove small branches and trim around one-third from the top for climbing roses, while I cut them back two-third and leave one-third of their height for bush ones.
After pruning some of them, I gave them some fertilizer. I need to do the same things for all my roses before it gets really cold. Roses need to dormant and save their energy for next spring.
I have a pair of gloves for roses because gathering cut branches sometimes hurt my hands.
This climbing rose needs a better support structure, and I have to fix it climb properly. I'll be busy taking care of my roses through November and December.

Glad you have enough space for many plants. I have a small plot of land in Shizuoka, and only one rose.
Thank you for reading and commenting. What kind of rose do you have? I'm curious.
