Question regarding Roses dying back....and coming back as...

[wishiwere]

A Climbing red version.

I am NO rose knowledgable person! Not even a bit, I'll admit. Years ago and since I've used Roses mainly as an annual, b/c I never take of them and never have them make it through the winter (big surprise huh? )

So this year, nearly each one has I think started growing from it's graft. Can you tell me what this might be, and should I just treat it as a climber and tie them up?

I thought I read one time many moons ago, that climbers and some other types of roses were grafted onto 'Blaze'? Is this a possibility that this is the type?

The canes are maybe 6-8 foot high.

thanks if you've read this long post!

I believe the Doctor is in the house.

Dr Huey that is.... Yep he's a big sprawly monster sort of thing.

Kepp him if you like him and he is growing well for you... otherwise give him the boot and don't look back.
