How wonderful! A mow and blow guy stepped on a band of Belle Epoque about two months ago that I had planted in the ground for my mom in January. I noticed some shoots popping up from that spot a couple weeks ago. Since no other roses -especially grafted roses- have been in that spot before or are close enough to be a sucker, I assume it is Belle Epoque showing new signs of life. There's always a slight glimmer of hope with roses!

Thats so great!
Had a similar thing happen w/ me with my new john davis rose this summer, dog stepped on it and broke the cane clean off to the ground. I dug it up and potted. It's already set up new growth from the roots. I am so happy and glad yours survived! Yay for strong rose babies. :o)
Take a look at Ascot, which is highly perfumed dark red. The best thing about the bloom is not "classically" highcentered (which does not appeal to me for purely random personal preference) and is cabage-like. The bush (mine on multiflora rootstock) is extremely vigorous, but does get blackspot. The growth in its two year residence in my garden shows it is mixture of small climber, ht and shrub, which, to me, makes it more interesting. It is cold hardy here in Essex County.
Nadadoll posted spectacular Ascot photos. She faces different disease pressure than us, but the pictures show the potential of this rose.
The only other red HT I have experience growing is Firefighter. I cannot seem to be able to get it going. Still a one cane dwarf after two seasons. Other than not cold hardy here, it ought to be a good HT here, at least on paper.
Don't know the answer to you question. BD is borderline hardy here and my own root plant died to the ground last year. You might want to plant a bit deeper just in case yours is grafted. It seems to be heat lover, and my guess is that you will get better performance if it is in full sun (and perhaps near a wall?). Don't think mine is getting as much heat as it wants.
I bought it in Spring and I do not like it sitting in the pot. I just planted near my shed, facing the west side. On the east side of the shed, I planted some other roses. I know west facing is not ideal, but the rose has to go somewhere.
I'll wait to see how it grows. I may want to move it later on to a more permanent location and that is a different story.
Thanks Sharon. I wasn't comfortable it wasn't viral. I shared the photos with Malcolm Manners, whose Fortuniana it is, and he confirmed it was something it could do during extreme vegetative activity. It was growing very quickly due to the temps and available water. I doubt it would have continued because while the temps remained, the water didn't. Kim
I just found this one on HMF. Great Balls of Fire. Kim

michael is right. Get a pair of long handled loppers and start chopping. It's the fastest way. You may even find that after you lop off a lot of top growth, you want to keep both rose bushes. They look very healthy, but are a bit overgrown.
Painting RU on a stump is not going to poison anything (except the stump of course) You can try to dig up the root ball, but if that is not possible, RU can help.
rross,
What about the Kordes Fairy Tales? I have Kosmos and it is a champ in 9B . About 18 to 24 inches, very disease free, very full with shiny green foliage, and it blooms like crazy for most of the year. I am so crazy about this rose that I have ordered Floral and Elegant for September delivery. It does well in the hottest part of our year.

I agree, it looks normal. On the Antiques forum, someone asked about their 'Crepuscule' and I wrote a post about how my 'Jaune Desprez' grew last year from a similar-looking band. Generally, when you receive an own-root band, the growth it has is what you'd see on the pruned-off-for-cuttings part of a mature plant -- so the thinner outer stems. These "baby canes" will feed the plant, and when the roots have enough reserves, a stouter cane will emerge that's more typical of "from the ground" substance. You may find (as I have, with my bands from last year) that the original growth it had when you received it will gradually fade away as the rose continues to push thick new canes. For many of mine, I simply pruned them off this year if I felt there were enough new shoots coming from the base -- they were flopping on the ground by now, anyway.

Awesome! That gives me so much relief! I will take some deep breaths and relax...until the next thing worries me, haha!
I'll keep in mind what you said, Aquaeyes, and not freak out if that happens to my bands.
I really appreciate this forum and everyone on it! Thank you so much guys!

strangalia famelica?? It appears to be a pollinator.

I have 3 cl pinkies around my arbor and at least one is in partial shade. They were planted this past spring and have taken off like gang busters. I am amazed at how fast thy have grown, they were in one gallon containers when planted and now are getting close to six feet tall, seems like I am constantly tying a new cane that sprouted up overnight. So far I have had only one big flush of blooms but I figure that's because it's so busy growing. It's supposed to bloom non stop once it's established. Good luck on picking a climber, I really am impressed with cl pinkies vigorous growth and so far have no complaints.
I have a fence with quite a few climbers on it at the edge of my part shade garden, and some of those are worth a try. On the lighter pink side are Blossomtime and Compassion, medium pink would be Madame Bovary, and dark pink so far are Laguna and Cherryade. In another part of my yard, Nahema is reasonably happy in part shade and the blooms are to die for - medium pink and Austin-like full blooms. Clair Matin also seems to like part shade, but she's at most a semi-double. If you want to see at least a few of these in action, I have a thread about my "back 40" circulating with the first picture showing the shade climbers.
As for hybrid musks, they do well in shade and part shade, and Lavender Lassie is by far the best of them for large fluffy blooms. Many of them are pink, and they might climb in your zone - Heavenly Pink is a white/light pink variation as the flowers fade, and Gartendirektor Otto Linne and Excellenz von Schubert are a more bright pink color. They seem to want to climb and all bloom at least off and on for me all season. Wilhelm is a darker pinkish red, but I have mine as a large 6-7 foot shrub - I don't know if it would climb. Awakening definitely climbs, but it tends to go white as it fades and you already have its counterpart New Dawn.
Hope this helps!
