For heavens sake, It's a 10 year old rose that hasn't been pruned.
Your advice is great for a 4 or 5 year old rose that's been cared for
and regularly pruned.
If that was a 10 year old unpruned climbing rose it would be a lot
taller than about the 5 ft it seems to be.

Not necessarily You can only see a bit of it. You can't possibly tell from
that photo what sort of rose it is. It could still be a climbing rose...or a
shrub rose...or a bush rose etc, etc
