Prune in March where you are - but they're not really patio roses, whatever they were sold as - true patio roses only get about 8 inches to a foot max and have a lot more, thinner stems. The last so called patio rose someone gave me as a gift I dug out two years later because it had reached 3 feet in that time.

Needs to come out of the pot and go in the ground, as will the others you have very shortly, if they're the same varieties. Unfortunately, roses really don't do well in pots, with the possible exception of the little patio roses. Its worth turning it out of its pot anyway, to check there aren't any invaders affecting the roots, there;s nothing obvious with the topgrowth because there aren't any leaves to see.
