14 years ago I planted 3 rose bushes in back of the trailer and they failed to grow. Yesterday Sam came in and said I had a rose blooming in back of the house. The original flower had put out a rose from the root stock. This is a sport from the rose I planted originally.I hope the rose keeps growing . Most hybrid roses are rooted on another rose bush that is more vigorous and this is what is here. The same thing has happen to my yellow rose in the flower garden and that sport is very hardy. I hope this will be also.
The net is a place of wonder. I did some research and found that most hybrid roses are grown on a DR. Huey rose stock because the hybrid rose is not hardy when the rose bush dies the root stock on which it was grown put out a plant. Mine is called a Yoyo and is a Dr. Huey climbing rose that blooms in the spring. This yoyo rose is near to a wild rose.
