You can prune Knock Out roses back severely when dormant in winter. In Eastern Tennessee (Zone 7), late February or early March is a good time. Prune all the way back to several inches above the soil line or graft union. Keep in mind most regrowth comes from within 6 to 12 inches below a pruning cut.
