Welcome to NGA, coreywoo. This is not a good time of year for pruning, and I also don't see any need to prune any of these roses. I don't see any dead canes to be removed. I do see leafless parts near the bottom of the canes, but that could have happened because the ivy was robbing that part of the rose of sunlight. Let them grow without the ivy for a while before you consider pruning them at all. People used to think pruning was good for roses, but in most cases it's unnecessary. Keep them well watered now that they're newly exposed.
