Wisely question...

10 years ago

Hey there, long time no post! I got an own root Wisely rose 2 years ago, and it's doing nicely, planted in front of the house where Cl Cecille Brunner used to be. It's not huge yet, but it's coming along well. There are two small suckers that have come up close to it. I really can't tell if they're Wisely suckers or Cecille Brunner suckers, since the leaves look nearly identical to me, and neither one looked great over the summer because I hardly watered and a soaker hose got a leak. The Cecille Brunner had been there long enough, and there's enough other stuff in the bed that I didn't even try to get ALL the Cecille Brunner roots when I moved her, I just chopped out a 3 foot circle and fiddled the dirt off and then staggered over to the new spot and let go of Cecille Brunner with gratitude!


I have no idea what root stock the Cecille Brunner is on, I bought it at Home Depot way back in 2004 when my father died and toted it around in a barrel until we bought this house. I'd never seen a sucker come up off of it before these 2 showed up this year, and 1 of them is about 18 inches from the Wisely, and the other 1 is about 4 feet from it, so I truly don't know which root system they came from! There weren't any roses in that bed before I planted mine there, it used to be all river stones and 1 bamboo in a pot...


How do I tell which rose these 2 suckers may be?
