Outward buds--how important?
All the pruning advice I've read says to cut just above an outward-facing
bud. I often have to choose between two roughly parallel branches, one of which is somewhat sturdier and better-looking but which has no outward-facing bud anywhere near where I'd like to cut. Is it best to choose the better branch or the one with the better- positioned outward bud? Thank you for any help you can offer. Bob Feduniak |

One caveat: if the 'better' branch is very old, remove it at the base of the plant and go with a young one instead. Cut lower or higher than you intended to get a good bud. On most modern roses, you can get away with removing as little as one third or as much as two thirds of a branch. |
