hi all,

One of my roses didn t make it through the winter but its rootstock did! I m wondering if there s any way to know what the rootstock is? I bought it from a grocery store not a nursery or anything and they have no idea.

Are there some that are usually rootstock?? I m in zone 4b Canada.

Thanks!

Your rootstock could be R. multiflora (pink, 5-petal blooms) or Dr. Huey (dark red semi-double blooms).
Both are once-bloomers, although the Dr sometimes repeat blooms in fall.

'Manetii' and a form or hybrid of R. canina are also used.

If you can post a picture, I can help to identify it. Otherwise look at my pics of rootstocks to see if you find it.

Here is a link that might be useful: Rootstocks

Thanks everyone for your replies.

There was a bud on the rootstock rose but it dried up. I opened it after and the colour seems like white or perhaps pink. I don t see any more buds. I will post a pic of the foliage soon.

Thanks dmaivn for the photos of the rootstocks!
