We usually prune ours in November our neighbour told us to do it then, and it has worked fine so far. I take the dead flowers of every other day and I seem to have roses all summer.

You just take the dead blossoms off no need for shears at all.

Apart from dead heading, climbing and rambler roses don't need pruning other than to train them
