We planted our first ever climbing roses last year and they blossomed wonderfully this year. The blossoms are fading and I want to be sure I do the right thing in terms of pruning. In early spring, I fastened the longest canes to the fence to get them as horizontal as possible and that seems to have worked very well. I know I'm supposed to do as little pruning as possible the first few years, but one of the two varieties we planted, "Cupid's Kisses" has a LOT of new canes growing away from the direction of the fence where the canes I attached earlier are also doing well. Should I cut back all or some of these canes growing away from the fence and leave the heavy growth that's closer to, and attached to the fence? Hopefully what I'm talking about will be clear in the attached photo.
