If it comes from anywhere under the graft it is rootstock. Sorry. :O(

that's ok I'll still try to grow it. Especially as my cutting propogation hasn't gone too well.

Oh dear! I have one that looks just like that coming up from what I thought was a dead Winnipeg Parks. I was all happy like I was having little babies.

Wait, isn't the graft like 3 inches above the soil line? In that case, can it really be root stock? I would't think so.

can it really be root stock? I would't think so.

*** SURE CAN!
I've had roses sucker several FEET away from the parent plant.
Some rootstocks sucker more than others, but even dull ol' Huey can put up suckers at a bit of a distance, like that.

If you pulled it off, that's good. Hopefully, you got the eyes there. But watch carefully for it to re-appear.

yeah I'm surprised because that sucker was coming of a perfume delight that I planted bareroot a few months ago. Can't believe it is already throwing out suckers!

Can suckers come that deep from down in the roots?

Yes!

That's a sucker from the rootstock.
