Should rose buds that have bloomed and are dry be pruned off the bush immediately?

I planted some rose bushes 2 weeks ago and the buds that were there when i bought them have bloomed fully and are now dried out and limp. Do i prune them or let them fall on their own?

Answers:

1Yes. They not only look ugly but they are also wasting energy from the plant which is going to try to make seeds from them. Snip them off or pick them off and you will get a lot more buds and flowers (called "deadheading" when you get rid of the old blooms).
