Default Well I've pruned my rose bush...

Following the advice of the good folk here, I've given my wayward rose
bush a bit of a trim.

Was told to remove any "dead" sections and try and trim it into a "goblet"
shape (the latter being a little tricky), not sure if I went a little too
far...

I know this isn't rocket science, but as I have a complete brown thumb,
wanted to know if this looks OK, or should I have gone too far, or not far
enough etc...

Thanks in advance.

Best Wishes

It's fine.
A while ago I was asked to take my goats to a place that needed severe
grazing and I said "you might lose your roses" Not so. They ate them nearly
to the ground and they grew fantastically the next year.
