Name the rose

I've got few roses in my new garden and I don't know what they are. Any ideas?

Cutting back crossing branches on roses or not

To be honest I have no idea what sort of roses are they  I recently moved in to the new house with this lovely garden. I don't have much gardening expirience. Before I just had a small backyard with few containers. The roses grow quite tall and have been wraped around my patio posts. They had a lovely big flowers last year. A friend of mine thinks they are climbers. I am not quite sure. How can I tell?

Cutting back crossing branches on roses or not

I pruned my rose quite hard in April. It loved it and it now grows very vigorously. It has a lot of new strong shoots coming from the base which will cross with the existing branches. What should I do? Should I just leave it or shouold I cut the crossing branches to give the new shoots some space? Many thanks, Karolina
