How far can you cut back a rose

I have a William Shakespeare rose that is now 2, when I decided to prune it had already leafed out so I just cut it back a bit even though I couldn't see any buds. Now it has bad canker that is spreading from the tips and is killing all the remaining new growth. I am wondering if you can back a rose with no buds really far and still have new growth. I am hoping someone can give me some advice on what I should do.
