Close up of a cane

All I see is healthy new growth! Don't be concerned with red growth. Many many varieties of roses have new growth red in color. What you would look for is deformed new growth. Yours are just looking beautiful!

Your plants look healthy.

Much growth this year that seems out of the ordinary ... is due to the bad winter we had ...

Thank you both so much! The red didn't concern me too much because I do see that on a lot of my roses but the tall canes was really what worried me! I figured I was overreacting w/o seeing any of the other signs but I just wanted a more informed opinion since I am only in my 2nd year of growing roses - I have a lot to learn!

aegis that's interesting! My knockout basically died back to the ground this year so that makes sense.

Thanks again for your reassurance that my KO is okay. :o)

Those are growing, healthy and happy roses! Relax and enjoy them!

Thanks Seil. I really did suspect I was overreacting but I needed people who were more experienced than me to give me that reassurance. :)
