Noticed this on the end of my stems could it be dieback and if so how to treat or possibly weather damage. 
Grateful for any help. Albertine currently flowering lovely

    Pretty much all roses suffer some dieback occasionally, some more than others. Its normally caused by cold winters, a late frost or sometimes for no discernible reason and nothing to be concerned about. Just cut the dead bits off down to healthy wood with a sharp pair of secateurs. If you get whole canes dying back in summer that could be a sign of something else, so keep an eye on it just in case.
