I posted earlier this season about a struggling transplant, it has only two live canes after being rescued from neighbor's garbage last July.

My first question is: I just noticed those two canes have plenty of buds... We're only talking two stalks with less than a foot of green growth and 20ish sparse leaves... and now buds. Should I cut off the buds so the bush doesn't put it's energy into blooming while it's recovering from some severe dieback after a shocking transplant last year?

My second question is: Should I prune my climber of it's older wood, etc. after bloom this summer? Any chance of rebloom? I have read they "only bloom on new growth," but this thing is covered in blooms every year, old growth, new growth, and in between. I've been training it horizontally with the idea of helping encourage lots of flowers, all along our chain link fence, and also been pruning most areas that cross one another, etc., but no other aggressive pruning or theory behind it.

This is my third season in this house (it was here when I got here). It has fully double but simple pale pink blooms. When it blooms I'll see if someone can help me identify it.
