You can take it easy this Sunday.
Actually, I have not really looked at mine to see how far along the new shoots are, but the Forsythia rule is a good average.
There was something rattling in my head about seeing a post saying prune the roses now, glad I found it, looks like super timely! Bumping this thread so others can take note too. Thanks tomcat for the advice.

The forsythia is blooming, so it is time to prune the roses now.
Ideally they should be cut back to several (3-5) canes, each 12-18" long and showing several new breaks.
At the same time, apply fertilizer & any systemic treatment you care to give them.
