Hello fellow gardeners, This is my first year of caring for roses that had been neglected, I think they are around 3-5 years old. Mostly it's been going ok, except this morning when reading my monthly guide, I misunderstood "pinch back basal shoots from within 6-12 inches from ground." I misunderstood what a basal shoot was, and wound up cutting 3 perfectly well formed canes from two bushes! Ack! Now each bush has 2 solid canes. What now? I fertilized and also applied Epsom salt today (which seems to have mixed support). Do I just leave it alone, keep watering until /actual/ pruning season and cut way back to promote new cane development? Pictures of the two plants attached. Thanks for any words of wisdom and encouragement. Margaret
