The external walls of our house are about to be re-painted. However, several

I am happy to completely strip down and get rid of the ivy but don't want
to lose the rest. If I prune these down to ground level, will this cause any
problems, and how long before everything grows up again?

Roses and clematis: it depends on which ones.

Winter jasmine: no and it should flower next winter.
