How Do I Prune Old Climbing Roses That Have Become Top Heavy?

My old Blaze climbing rose bushes have their best new growth at the top of the bushes. Can I cut them down to encourage new growth closer to be bottom and center of the trellises to prevent the "top heavy" look?

    I would just thin out the fullness of them at the top.  Prune some of them back.  I would prune the bottoms ones as well so the top spread to the bottom.  Hope this helps.  Good-Luck.
