Help With New Climbing Rose

I am a complete novice and purchased a climbing rose from a nursery. I watched on you tube how you attach the main canes to shape the plant and the off shoots produce the roses. There are three main canes on my plant but all three have been cut or pruned.do i need to remove them all at the base and start afresh and when should i do it. Or should i just buy another one that doesn’t have the main canes cut. Many thanks colm.

No, it is best not to prune at all for the first two or three years while the rose is forming a root system. This article explains:
