RE: Rose Sucker Question

Gallicas, rugosas, Scotch roses, and some species roses tend to form thorny thickets by sending up shoots from horizontal fleshy roots some distance from the original crown. In the wild, it is a way of defending against browsing animals.

Basically a sucker is an unwanted shoot, just as a weed is an unwanted plant.
