You would need to leave them, Mark and train them in. If you can bend them down the flower buds will form as offshoots from the longer stems - otherwise the buds will form at the top.
Do you know what varieties you have?Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to? -
If they are a lot more spikey than the normal stems then i cut them off as i understand them to be suckers, they are often a different colour on mine too - although i am often wrong!Comment

Good point, Newbie - if they are growing from below the graft point they could well be the rootstock suckering.Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?Comment
