Standard Rose

I have a standard rose that I think needs pruning. Any advise would be helpful. It has a few long stems and looks quite crowded in the centre. It flowered well last year, it's first summer with us.

    One Lizzie to another,  the GW website probably has some good advice on this, but I would shorten any long stems so they are the same length as the others and if you can take out a few of the stems right in the centre.  Standard roses are supposed to look "fountain" like, so don't cut off too many as the plant is still young.  Hope this helps.
