It’s just the way you prune them. Cut out all dead or weak growth except for one or three strong stems and prune those as high as possible to one outward facing strong bud. Fertlise well with Blood ‘n bone or meat neal and add some sulphate of potash. and put a trench a spade depth aroubnd your roses and the fertilizer in the bottom. mix in a bit and refill the trench. You’ll have roses anybody would be proud of.
