| This rose bush, Fragrant Cloud, hasn't done well. I transferred it from the rose bed up to the raised veggie bed to give it TLC but hasn't helped. Is this gall or just a strange root? The bush is about 26 years old.
Thanks. Clare

| I dunno. Crown gall normally has a lumpy texture like cauliflower. |

| Yeah. As Michael says -- Galls really usually look a lot like cauliflower. This just looks like root that has been stripped of bark on the top. Jeri |

| Thanks. I will go cover it up now. Clare |

| I don't think it's crown gall either. Actually, it looks similar to what happened to my Jen's Munk rose; roots strangling each other. See the link for pictures: |
Here is a link that might be useful: Garden Musings blog on Jen's Munk demise.

| professorroush - Thanks for the link and information. Maybe that is what happened. It strangled itself to death. Clare |
