Rose growing from leftover root

| Last spring, I moved a Carefree Beauty rose to another location. Some of the root was left behind...and in fall, I noticed 2 slender canes coming up in that location. Upon inspection this spring, I see that they are growing from a piece of root. Does anyone know if this rose will be a true Carefree Beauty, or something else? It was originally a bare-root, not own-root, plant.) |

| If your Carefree Beauty was budded, not own root, what is coming up is not Carefree Beauty but the rose Carefree Beauty was budded to. Kim |

| Depending on where you bought it, it's most likely Dr. Huey. |

| This sounds like the same problem I've been having for three years with leftover Dr. Huey. I moved Christian Dior from the front bed to the back, and no matter what I do, Dr Huey keeps popping up. I planted a yew bush over where CD was, so I haven't really tried too hard to fully remove the rootstock since I don't want to kill the yew. Oh well... |

| Tammy, CAREFULLY paint the Huey sprouts with Round Up. As long as it doesn't get on anything else, you'll kill it to the root. I've been doing it for years with Huey and Prickly Cucumber. Kim |

| Thanks so much! I was afraid that might be the case. I was going to watch them and discard them later if not true, but now I guess I'll just get rid of them. |

| Not all rootstock is Dr. Huey. Some of the roses I love best in my garden (Fortuniana, de la Grifferaie, & several others yet to be IDd) came up as rootstock, and I let them grow to see who/what they were, and was delighted. I do agree that, at least here in our climate I have no use for Dr. Huey - among other things, it is a mildew magnet. jackie |

In zone 5 most root stock available from garden centers and big box stores is Dr. Huey or sometimes thornless multiflora. Fortuniana will not survive our usually cold zone 5 winters. Unless ordered on-line from speciality vendors all our roses in stores here are from the Tyler Texas area and are on Dr. Huey root stock. Canadian suppliers often bud on multiflora, a white five petaled rose that's often found wild in our pastures and along road sides. Ive never seen de la Grifferaie used as a root stock in zone 5 although it's probably hardy enough to survive.
It's used in California because it's tolerant of your alkaline soil conditions. Our soils tend to be acidic. |
