Prune laurel hedges using secateurs. Avoid using a hedge trimmer or shears as this leaves the laurel's foliage looking shabby.

Prune Wisteria. Shorten all long shoots, which are growing out from the main branches by cutting back to five or six leaves. Unwanted growth on wisteria can be removed to keep the climber under control.

Remove rose suckers that appear around the base. Stop feeding now. Cut them off as close as possible to the rootstocks below the soil. Take cuttings from healthy stems. New shoots of climbing roses should be tied back. This is will prevent them being damaged by wind and heavy rain. Continue to remove faded flowers.
