As others have said it does depend on what they are.
Generally I wouldn't remove buds on stems but many plants/shrubs do benefit from trimming of their stems to encourage a bushier habit

It depends what they are,Francesy,but it is usual practice to nip them out,especially the centre ones..if you want them to bush out..
