Shoots going black ?

Evening all,
I have recently planted quite a few roses and the delicate sideshoots look a little worse for wear following the recent cold weather.



Any advice on what to do would be appreciated



Thanks in advance,

 

My roses in the front garden do that every year Fastboy, i just cut them back again in spring...

 

Cheers YDD.

Do you mean pruning the stem below the shoot/s ?

 

Yes fastboy in spring.. good luck.

 

One of those two lower inward growing shoots should be taken off anyway, as if both develop you'll end up with crossed and rubbing stems.
