Do one of two things. One, make whatever cut you decide on higher than you'd like. This will allow for development of the bush and, more particularly, give time for buds to continue swelling and become apparent. Later, when they are apparent, you cut to the right one. Two, make cuts that leave quarter-inch stubs of old stems.
Dormant eyes abound just under the junctures of stems and what they grow on.
It looks strange when you first do it, and not as clean or ideal as a cut above a bud eye, but it really will work. Order Ray's Growing Good Roses for more essential advice on caring for your roses.
