New iPhone 6S - restore from backup question

Hi :)

I ordered my new iPhone 6S last week, and it's supposed to arrive in two days. I currently have an iPhone 5S.

My question is the following: I still want to have my old text messages on my new iPhone but that's all, other than that I want to start fresh.
Would this work if I would delete all apps and stuff from my 5S and make a new backup of my 5S in iCloud and then restore from backup on my new 6S? Or will some other data from my old phone still be in the new backup?

Thanks in advance for the help :)

Congrats on your new iPhone, yes that would work. If you delete everything you didn't want to save then did a iCloud backup that would save what's on your iPhone at that moment.
