I have an Emanuel Rose (salmon pink) & I don't know whether it was because, when I was sick, my husband let it go, but it seems like a climbing rose now - should it be that way, or should I prune it down quite a lot.

Thanking you

A lot of Austin Roses behave like a climber and are even sold as such by Austin roses.
When You like this rose at its place as a climber.....why not.
When You like it better as a shrub....why not pruning it at the right moment (right after flowering) to its desired height.

In the region of Argentina, where I live, David Austin roses tend to have a vigorous growth. The only reason why after each flowering I pruned them It´s because I like to smell their fragance and not mounted on a ladder.
Best regards
Cristina
