Climbing Rose

I have a beautiful climbing rose about 6 foot tall and 4 foot wide. It’s just getting too big! Any suggestions about how I should prune it and when? Thankyou

You should do any major pruning in late winter or early spring when it is still dormant. You can remove dead or diseased stems anytime. Determine if your rose blooms once or is a repeat bloomer. These articles tell you how to prune:
