What sort of roses are you talking about.
I can understand the rough cut. Look at farmers hedgerows after a flailing and then look again in 3 months they come back brilliantly. Although they do die eventually I believe.
Depends on the client though surely, some would be horrified and convinced you'd killed it.
looks better to the client to use clippers but id crack out the hedge cutters
The RHS tested this out many years ago IIRC. There was no immediate difference between careful pruning, random pruning and hedge-cutter pruning, but over time it was felt there would be less of a structure to the plant, and more disease, if you don't prune them properly.
That's shrub roses: climbers or hedging will take any amount of abuse.
Something in the back of my mind thinks it might have been Gardener's World, back when it was hosted by the wonderful Geoff Hamilton. Wisley does ring a bell, perhaps they filmed the trial there?
days gone by the roses where pruned with a pruning knife so it works whatever you use to prune
