how do you deal with the thorns, if there are any?

[Hyacinth]

 ??? No thorns in raspberry canes and they're beautifully straight and sturdy. Just this years crop, ie last years canes, when they've darkened and need to be removed to make way for the new growth (light green) to fruit next season? Hope this helps.
