Hi all, I have a Paul Scarlet climbing rose growing in my garden, aprox 3-4 years old. It flowers every year with red roses. However, this year it has produced the red roses but has now also additional stems growing (with 7 leaves as opposed to the original 5 on rest of plant), and the roses are pale pink. Can anyone advise what is happening - is it reverting back to root stock? Many thanks for your help. Kind regards Tony

yes, that's the wild rose root stock. remove before it gets bigger than Paul
Wow. You just rocked me back over forty years with that question. I remember my friends dad explaining that to us when we were children!!!
Thanks mate my fault I didn't follow the stem to the graft, I thought I had a wonder ? but you are dead right. Job done sucker no more. Thanks again.
