Help - D. intermedia dormancy

My D. intermedia and D. intermedia hybrids are now beginning winter dormancy.
Can anyone tell me whether or not I can safely remove the hibernacula from
last year's stem growth?

My hybrids fall into two classes:

(both parents form hibernacula)
D. intermedia x rotundifolia
D. intermedia x filiformis

(only D. intermedia forms hibernaculum)
D. intermedia x brevifolia
D. intermedia x capillaris

Would the advice differ for one or the other hybrid classes?

Much Thanks In Advance,
