Which part is it that you're concerned is diseased?

It looks fine to me. Shouldn't it be buried deeper though?

I don’t know if it should be buried deeper. Should it be?

Magpie- I’m looking at the bud union of the rose. Does it look like bacterial chancre?

Actually I think it’s called the graft union.

Here’s a better picture. Should the grafted part be under the soil? I’m in zone 8

Forgot the pic. Lol

It looks okay to me (though I'm no rode disease expert). In your zone I wouldn't worry about burying it deeper.

Not sure which zone 8 (the sate makes a difference) but it looks dormant and you could bury it father down. The advantage is that if you dig it up and plant if so that the big graft is below the ground, often the branches will root too making it a stronger plant, basically 3-4 plants in one.

Maybe it's just me, and the fact that I have only one functioning eye at the moment, but that rose looks pretty much dead to me. I see a little bit of green midway up on a couple canes, but it looks overall brown to me. I think you have a dead, or almost dead rose there.

I agree. Diane

Do a little cutting and see if there is any nice white growth down lower on the cane.

Here, the live roses have swelling buds now and look more alive. You might be ready to put on a toe tag, Tammy, on this rose and dig it out like you thought.

I didn't even look up the canes or think about how their rose should not be dormant rn... geez. Need to sleep more 😓
