If these are metal tags w/
metal wire ties and you live
where the temp gets anywhere
below 20F please remove them.

For some reason extremely cold metal
causes girdling like damage on healthy
canes. I had to lop atleast a few canes
due to this.

The things one learns the hard way! Yes, I do believe they're on wire. And we
do get below 20 in the winter. Do you keep your tags and reattach them somehow
with something that won't harm the plant?
