I prune all of my roses in the early spring, you know... when it's still so cold that you'll lose feeling in your hands if you're out too long... I haven't lost one yet.

I'd advise waiting till spring. That way you can see what growth has winter-killed. If they are overgrown, you might try cutting back to the ground, about 1/3 of the canes - the oldest ones. The newer shoots will then be more vigorous.

You can prune them now, but the new growth will nailed by the first frost. So you should wait until the first frost hits!

its actually best to do it after winter after the last frost.. This will help keep your roses warmer you might say. I did it this year and they grew much bigger and better. I did this with both climbing and reg.
