Hello Sara,
" When do you prune roses? I've heard you should do it now, some say spring. Also do you need to de-leaf them? "
This National Gardening Association has a special forum devoted to Roses. I suggest you ask your question there. That is probably where most of the "rose people" are.

I don't grow roses, and I can't even get close to a rosebush without getting stuck by a thorn. The only flower I grow, besides my hobby of zinnias, is our Kansas native sunflowers, which grow at various places all by themselves. And don't have thorns.
