no pansyface,i put it in last summer,but i never had any roses.
iam not sure pansyface,ive cut it back a bit.
Train the main canes as near the horizontal as you can manage - do not shorten the main canes unless they are way too big for the space.
Reduce the side shoots to three buds.
Here's a video which explains it really clearly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o-o_FHPoEU

If it only went on last summer you need to look for a framework this year Caroline. Pruning hard will give you strong new growth and you can choose the strongest stems to train to the framework you need.
