knock out roses?

sorie6 zone 6b

the home we bought has (had) huge bushes and I'm in the process of cutting them back. Is this the wrong time of yr?? I've never had them always had minis and tea and I cut them back any time.
these roses also have lots of thorns on the stems especially on the new growth. I've never seen so many thorns!! Is that normal for knock outs?
Please tell me I havent killed them. There was so much dead inside them they needed cleaned up.
Nothing like asking the question after the damage is done is there. :(
Thanks for any help.
