    I would just give her some time to get her root system established, then the new growth will come and can be trained. I would water her with some water that has both a product called Super Thrive and a Root Stimulator in it. Water with a fresh batch of the mix the next 4 to 5 times she needs watering.

    It looks like your climbing rose is very well established, thus my answer is to do a little of both. Prune some out and tie others in. Tie them in in areas that have a bit of room left for infill. It mainly has to do with the look you are going for. Many times I would caution folks about pruning out any new growth as many of the older climbing roses bloom on what is called the "old wood" or the previous year's growth. Thus pruning it out sacrifices the following year's blooms. However in the case of this well established rose, I believe you will be okay with the mix of tieing some off and into the picture and removing others that would be adding to an already thickly grown in area.

    I would give them another year before pruning, they are quite young. These articles should help:

    Thanks for the photo. By the looks of things, I would say that rosebush needs a major pruning back. Prune it back to a point where it is manageable again. Remove all dead and badly twisted canes. Then when the new growth comes on, tie it back (also known as training the rose) to the rock wall in a manner that will teach the canes where you want them to grow. This tieing back/training is an on-going process that you must keep up with. Otherwise it will become out of control and bending all over itself. I have pruned these back very hard several times for folks and got them growing in a manageable manner again. It is a lot of work but well worth it.
