Default Rose Cuttings

Advice, please, urglers. I have tended 12 hardwood cuttings of old,
beautifully scented climbing roses. They appear to be alive, and are coming
into leaf. At the moment they look like 8 inch stalks with 2 or 3 breaking
buds, and they are in 8 inch pots - two cuttings per pot. What should I do
next - do I need to prune then again to encourage more stems - what shape
should I be looking to achieve by the end of this season? There are two
varieties of rose - at the moment I've had to call them "a" and "b" until
the parents can be identified :-))
Looking for advice, please.
