Fairytale Rosebush Tamed?

When we bought this house there was an enormous fairytale style rosebush with thorns so big they would take your eye out. It reminded me very much of the rosebush from the old cartoon The Rats of NIMH. 

Christopher worked with our fantastic groundskeeper/mechanic, Perry, to chainsaw the old bush. 

Over the past season it has rapidly put on new growth. It does not seem that any of it had flowers. As a result, and in consultation with gardeners world experts, we suppose that it is a rambling rose - which blooms on second year wood. Today while we were consulting about something in the carriage house, happened to look up and see old pieces of metal rods. We bent them into arches and they are now supports for the rosebush. It was a very dangerous project that we tackled together.

Tada! I hope to see blooms on them next year or they are coming out!
