I have had a William Lobb for about three perhaps four years.

Last year was the first year it bloomed.

This year the part(basically all of the original plant) of the rose that bloomed died and the rose has suckered and come up in several different places, some a couple of feet away.

Is this typical of William Lobb?

The volunteers are in all the wrong places of course, but now I am not sure I want to keep them.
