re: pruning

Just purchased 2 Flower Carpet shrub roses which will ultimately reach 6 ft. 
They're in 3.5 gallon pots,  are about 3 ft. high, have many pencil-thin canes
and
a couple of sturdy ones and are scrubby looking. What  suggestions does anyone
have about sprucing up these very hardy, own-root roses? They'll be planted
7-3-98
and will be along a stockade fence w/ about 6 hours of sun. They otherwise
appear 
to be healthy and happy with some nice cluster blooms. Their habit, I'm told,
is
vase-like rather than mounding.

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas.
