| Hi this is my first year growing roses. I live in zone 5 so ive been buying own root roses. But all the albas i wanted were sold out. So i ordered albas from palatine on multiflora to arrive in spring. What ive read is if i plant deep they can go own root is this true. And if so how deep? Thank you for any help |

| Palatine's roses grafted on multiflora are excellent. In the colder regions like you inhabit, always plant the graft (no matter what kind of graft) about 4-6 inches deep. That should protect the graft from freezing. Do deep planted grafted roses go own root? Maybe or maybe not. If they do, it will probably take a long time. There is no guarantee on this practice. But deep planted grafted roses are terrific in the northern regions, so I wouldn't worry about it one way or another. You have a good, healthy, and beautiful rose. That's cause for celebration, don't you think? Kate : ) |

| Thnx kate i just wanted to make sure they lived along time. I heard grafted roses didnt have a long life span. And did not get as full |

| In many cases grafted roses are more vigorous than their own-root counterparts. I've found if you plant the bud union about 2 inches below soil line in many cases they will go own-root over time, depending on how easily a variety roots of course. Gallicas and other OGRs that have a propensity to sucker can be controlled by planting the bud union above the soil line because they will go own root the quickest. But in colder regions you would be safer to bury the bud union for all varieties so if the canes die-back in a harsh winter are more likely to recover. |
