Basal canes are the lifeblood of a rose bush. That's how they perpetuate themselves and put on size. Seeing a robust one growing is a thrill to me, too. Enjoy the event. May many more basals grace your garden.

That is really cool a1an. What a thrill it is to see those new basil's

I have a little found rose that started with one cane on one root and a few months later it has 6 nice basil's.

Going to prune 2 feet off of it, even though there is a bud on the tip that has yet to open. I did not see it this morning - thinking the rains might have weighed and snapped it off....and it was lying somewhere inside the leaves

With the sun out, she's still there and has propped back high.

Going to shorten it, just to reduce weight, so I have this nice new one to adjust my framework for next year

A1an - My roses need to get more basal growth...I'm really happy for you that yours are growing so well!
