Well, you ladies are so helpful on many things, maybe some of you gardening gals can help. My question is regarding rose bush pruning. I've googled it, but I'm not quite sure...

I planted a beautiful floribunda variety rose bush as part of my tribute to my sweet yellow lab that passed I posted about. My first ever rose bush. To my amazement, the thing is blooming beautifully.

The garden shop gal was trying to explain to me how to prune it to keep it blooming. From what I read, this is not an ongoing task, but once in a season thing??? The shop gal said once a flower dies, to prune below it. Something about "go down far enough until you reach a three leaf foilage, and then cut it"??? I thought she meant to do this as on ongoing thing???

I saw a google diagram of where the "eye" is on the cane. To prune, you cut at an angle above it. I assume this is what the shop gal meant by where a three leaf foilage might be growing... or that's an "eye".

Soooo... I was just out in the yard hacking away at all the dead blooms, but I don't know if this is overkill, or what?

Thanks for any help!

btw, here is pic of the rose bush...
