is this true
Please take a look and give your advice

No don't clip the leaves. You see that knobby thing just at the soil line? That is the graft for the rose. All the growth stems from the good part on top of it as it should. If ever a shoot develops from under the ground then that one should be pruned back. This rarely happens.
