Here is a picture of what it looked like after the "carnage"...

Hope I did this semi-right...has worked OK in other years...
The main thing is NOT to cut anything off below the "Y"--or the plant will have to re-"Y" next year before blooming.

However--in this case--ALL the cuttings will already be from ABOVE the "Y", even if they don't show it, and will bloom earlier next year.
