What is this new rapid growth on my roses and should I cut it back?
August 1, 2022 at 3:13 pm Replyit’s a bit hard to see but there’s two possibilities :
- either it’s a vigorous rose variety, and it’s just sending out new shoots. these will grow and probably only bear flowers at the end of the season or next spring. some rose trees are like that, and that’s the chance to cut back older stems if you find them ugly or if they’re not bearing roses anymore.
- or it’s a grafted rose, the rootstock is one type of whatever and the beautiful rose you bought is the grafted scion. and what might be happening is that the rootstock is sending up a new branch on its own instead of sending up the sap to the grafted rose which is the one you want to keep. rootstock almost never have nice roses, they’re just selected to resist disease, not be beautiful. the way to check is to look for a grafting joint, and if the shoot comes out from below it then you should remove it.
