Roses need to be cut doen in late win term or early spring when dormant
No.
Yes, your climbing rose vines should be pruned sometime between December and February. They will come back bigger and better the next Spring. I hope this helps you.

I would cut them down to a foot above the main root stock. You can wait until early Spring, but I think it is harder to pull dead vines off a wall or fence line than live vines which will die during the winter anyway. One caveat: if you are trying to get the roses to fill in a trellis or arbor, you may want to leave even dead vines. When the new growth come, it will be easier to train it along the old paths. 😇
