Most of it looks good for now. You might trim back that longest branch to even it out, but it looks like it has flower buds, so you might want to wait and use those as cut flowers

Is this rose from cuttings?  
Also are you pruning as it grows?!

Mine is from B\&Q, but I’m not sure what to do as it grows then confused if i should prune as it grows

Im waiting for this sad little rose to bloom be for I prune it but pruning as it grows helps it to bushy and strong and I think they are cuttings I just got them from a store and they already started growing like this

Roses love to be pruned, don’t hesitate. Usually people prune during the winter, but I think you can do that leggy branch now. It looks like it might want more light if it’s growing like in the picture on the right, though.
