roses

I just moved to Tn and at this time am only a part-time resident. I will be returning to Florida in about a week and will not be back until mid December. What do I need to do to my rose bushes? I don't know if they need to be cut back considerably, just trimmed or left alone. Any information would be extremely useful TIA
