drooping branches

We had a heavy wet snow and my 5-6 foot hybrid tea rose branches bent over to the ground. None of them broke but are still bent over.
Should I cut them off to about two feet, try to tie them up or leave them be.

    No, leave them alone. Don't even try to take the snow off. Let the snow melt on it's own and the branch will come back up as it warms up. I tried to clean the snow off once and the branches were so brittle from the cold they instantly snapped. That's true for any plants you have too, evergreens, bushes, trees, etc. leave them alone and let them recover naturally. It's much better for them.
