I absolutely love roses. These Julia Child roses blooming in my garden are beautiful and smell delicious. I love walking outside when they are in full bloom because the entire yard is perfumed by their delightful scent. 
Roses are not hard to care for, but they do have some specific growing requirements.
One of the most beneficial things you can do to promote flowering for your roses is knowing when and how to prune them.
