Rose Propagation & Exchange

True from seed?

9 years ago

I had a volunteer rose bush come up in a neglected, overgrown corner of my yard. It is a dead ringer for "Red Cascade", also in my yard, about 50 or 75 feet away, and I am wondering if a squirrel or other animal might have carried the seed to that corner. Would seed come true from a cultivar?

it could be a close match, especially if the seedling is a self of the parent plant.

Thanks. Looking at another spot along the fence, I found another volunteer, this one seemingly a duplicate of "The Fairy", also in my back yard!!!
