How do you manage unwanted shooting at the pruning cuts? I was always told to dig out the shoots like eyes on a potato.
In general, ripping the bud out will prevent a plant from shooting.

With roses, for example, that shoot from the root stock, it's advised to yank the unwanted shoot and rip it from the plant. That removes the bud and stops it from re shooting.
