Yes. Generally, it should work on any plant with sprays of flowers.

I work in a rose garden with 3500 bushes. It's hard for me just to keep up with the deadheading!

This video demo really focuses on folks that exhibit their roses, so I'd assume you would scan your rose garden for those buds that side pruning would benefit from--those buds that might develop into show blooms.

I'm curious, does side pruning increase the longevity of the central bloom? Thanks for the video.

@cwb003528 Will this work for a miniature rose bush? I just got one for a gift this morning and have no idea how to care for it.

Great job on your video cb, I love how clearly you can see the buds you are picking off. Do you have any more tips for a new gardener? I am in zone 8-9 .
