In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  
Breeder's notes:
Fascinating coloration -- diminutive, light pink buds become blossoms of cherry red to maroon, finishing in deep pink. Creamy white highlights create a wonderful handpainted effect (American Rose, 11/04)
