Rose Pruning Angle of Cut

When you prune the knock out rose, in what direction should the angle of the cut be? I would like the bush be round.
Hi,
The picture above shows the correct angle for pruning roses.
You would want the angle to lean inward, so the bud grows outward for a rounded effect.
Otherwise the new shoot would grow toward the center, which is wrong.
All stems growing toward the main canes should be removed.
