Can I cut back unruly climbing roses really hard as they are getting out of hand

We cut our Rambling Rector to the ground a few weeks ago because it had got unruly with the intention of getting the root out. I have now changed my mind as it has put up so very healthy shoots so I am going to tie them to the uprights on the pergola and wait and see if it produces any flowers in 2018. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Depends on the way they are growing. On a trellis, arbor or wires or on a tree. I would wait for the leaves to drop so you can see the structure of the shrub. Then, I possible, bend some of the pliable stems to the horizontal to improve the flowering and prune out the unwanted ones.
