Mr. Lincoln

11 years ago
last modified: 11 years ago

I potted a two gallon grafted Mr. Lincoln in a 15 gallon pot about 3 weeks ago. I bought him and several other grafted roses from Lowes. All appear very healthy.

The Belinda's Dream, Julia Child, Sun Flare and Paradise are all growing uniformly and staying very rounded and giving me their first blooms.

The Mr. Lincoln however quickly put up two canes from the graft that are 2.5 feet tall, no leaves and a single bud on the end of the cane. Is this something that is typical for Mr. Lincoln? I would of course like him to be shaped more like the other bushes. Would it be wrong to cut those canes back in an effort to encourage him to bush out some?
