That's a song isn't it?

Help. I planted a rambling rose last year. Never had one before. Gosh, it
looks just about ready to burst into life.....but I'm wondering. Do I need
to prune it at all?

If it is a rambler they don't need pruning but if you have to (as nick says
"self defence"!) do it after flowering when the flowered stems can be
removed and newer growth tied in to replace them.
