Pruning rambler

My Veilchenblau is pretty much over now as are my other ramblers. When pruning do I just trim back the dead flower heads or do I cut all the little flowering stems right back to the host "branch"?

Yes - my Veilchenblau is on my plantlist along with Rambling Rector. It just says about deadheading on RR but nothing on the V'blau. I wanted to know how far back to take the deadheads off. In some advice they tell you to cut right back to the main stems, in other advice you just trim the dead flowers off. Which to do with V'blau and ramblers generally?
