Its best to prune half back autumn to let the air circulate to prevent desease then prune further in spring thats what I do any way.

I agree with Sixpence. This one used to depend on where you lived in the UK. Autumn in the south and Spring in the north.

I reduce the height of my roses in the autumn to reduce winter damage then prune in the Spring to promote growth, shape, etc.

Depends on the rose - if its a rambler, they should be done now, in September. For climbers, take off any really long lengths if you must to prevent windrock, and prune properly end of February/beginning of March.

thank you all for your help,i am going to try what you all have said.thank you once again for your response.
