seil zone 6b MIUpdated July 24, 2015 Leave K&M alone. Move the other one when you can and don't worry about it in the mean time. It may surprise you and just grow bigger to get out from under K&M's shadow! My roses will often grow out one way or the other ...

caflowerluver(9b)Updated July 24, 2015 Thanks again. Just have to wait and see what it grows up to be when mature. Most of the seedlings I have grown didn't make it past a year or two. I don't baby them so only the strong survive. This is just a fun hobby for me. I am...

nippstress - zone 5 NebraskaUpdated July 23, 2015 Nicole - it could well be canker for all I know - that word gets used pretty broadly for a lot of conditions. For me, it's enough to say the canes were damaged and the damage was spreading, and that's clearly enough to recommend t...
