Or just a couple of different canes? My Stormy Weather that grew so vigorously, had pretty purple petals and smooth thin canes, threw 2 THICK super thorny canes. I asked since it was a new baby climber, seems thorns are likely for a climber. From May:
And the new thorny canes
And I expected the heat from a couple of weeks ago to effect the color, but they still looked purple and so many buds
But what happened here??
Closer to hot pink, super ruffly and not very open and flat? Is it a sport? A new super cane or what? Or is that the cold June Gloom that is still here in July? I checked again and these big canes are above the graft. |

| All of my new canes produced those huge candelabras this year, love the "different" flowers, looks like carnations! |
|
| You know, I think maybe all the weird weather this year has made a lot of things grow in odd ways. I'd wait for things to cool down and see how they grow then. I've also had a lot of very large candelabras develop this year. |

| Good luck, Kippy. I hope the frilly flowers remain as I like them better than the original. That one, if it's stable, I'd be interested in! Kim |

| Hi Kim, I am curious about it too, I really loved the thin flexible thornless canes, but this flower is probably better with the rest. The two strong canes seem to be stealing the vigor from the smooth ones. But I will keep an eye on it! I looked at images of the parent plants and they do not look like the new ones. The new canes are 1/2" or wider and stiffer so training them will be more of a process. (going to train them along the top rail on the picket fence) |

| If I am correct in understanding your intial post, this is a recently planted (last spring or this spring) climbing rose, is that right? The first canes on a new or young climbing rose are never as thick and long as the "mature" canes from an established rose. As the plant establishes, the canes get bigger and thicker and truly represent the plant. This might be the case with your rose. |

| Hoovb, you could be totally right, it is a new for 2012 rose so not a lot of pictures of well established plants, but all on helpmefind show the same smooth first canes. Guess we will just have to see what happens! |
