Here is great info on pruning your climbers. https://www.finegardening.com/article/pruning-climbing-roses
First I cut off all of the dead blooms and leggy branches. Then I cut it WAY back. It always comes back with a vengeance in the spring. The more I cut the bushier and fuller it gets. Rose bushes are practically indestructible as long as they get good sun and water.
Hello Del,
In general, you will be pruning just before the plant breaks dormancy after spring's final frost. This will be early in the year in warm climates, and anytime between January and April in cold climates.
