Rose Shoots from Old Transplant Sites—Suckers or Original?

Shoots from where you dug roses last year: likely root suckers from Dr. Huey rootstock (vigorous, red blooms) or original rose roots if own-root variety. Wait for flowers: Dr. Huey = small double red; original = your variety. Suckers bloom in 2–3 years.
