They sound like Rosa Multiflora, in which case they will ramble like crazy!
They have been used as a nature fence with great results. I just let mine
go and sort it out for themselves. I've done weaving, and been sorry when
I
need to prune away old wood. Tying is much better. I'm sure you know
this
already Martin, but if they are Multiflora, they are non-repeaters and
should be pruned only after they're done blooming.
