My Arthur Bell rose throws very long stems, which sway over bed. Have transplanted one to a fence close to same species of the climber and seems to have become a climber itself but would like to retain the floribunda as bush rose. Cut back hard last two years but away it goes again by July. Any help please

I had a rambling rose that unfortunately got poisoned. (Dont ask ).It was a very overgrown rose. Alot of the stems and part of the bush has turned brown and can be cracked off since the poison. In parts of the bush it has been cut down to a foot off the ground. Do I cut the rest of the rose bush down to this level ? Also, just wondering now if there is any hope of reviving this rose and what should I do ?

I got a delivery of fresh horse manure two weeks ago I have it covered and was told that it will be ready to use between 3-6 weeks. Can I believe that? I saw very fresh manure covering rose bushes in Phoenix Park yesterday so maybe its ok to do it.
