Aren't his roses amazing? Toni, don't prune off any canes that look dead. A lot are so old that they've lost all of their greenish color, but they will produce buds and sprouts. I didn't prune my roses from Cliff before planting simply because I was getting so many all at once that I didn't have time. Later I was amazed at the new growth emerging from canes I might have removed if I'd had the time.
