How are the under the ground horizontally growing roots/canes called, that form new plants from a rose. Are they called rizomen or stolonen or maybe they have another name?

Thank You Jedmar, but do You know the latin name for this "abusive" term? Or do You mean runners? Are those different?

Stolon seems to be the Latin term

Allways on the lookout for roses particullary wild ones. I saw this one from the road a wild rose (R. nutkanas) growing and on on closer inspection noticed that the new shoots growing up were red in colour. Has anyone seen or know the cause of this or is it a normal occurrence? This particular rose is growing in a low lying area alongside a brook in the shade for most of the day with only filter light. This is in Langley B.C. in th Fraser Valley.

Hi I'm fairly new to roses and have what I was told is a peace rose in my garden (not sure though because it's pure white??). It's a bit battered and not very big, it's only produced about four flowers in the last two years. However this year it has produced a flower that has two centres so it looks like a figure eight when you look down at it. Does anyone know why this has happened? I've looked on the internet but can't find anything about this happening to roses. Thanks.

Have you fed this rose? Lack of nutrients can cause a rose to bloom lighter than it should. Though Peace shouldn't be all white. There should be a yellow and pink blush to the bloom.
Dbl centers are a common thing. It is like a conjoined twin, only with a rose blossom.

We've had widely fluctuating temperatures here in the Santa Clarita Valley this spring. It has been the longest, coolest spring in memory. Peace and Chicago Peace have both produced nearly white flowers off and on. You'll find it's common with weather fluctuations.

Hi, thanks for the info. I feed all my roses regularly (my neighbour said i feed them too much??!) i was given this rose by my mother-in-law who had had in for some years in the pot it came in behind her shed....i think that's why it's in a bad way. i put it in my rose garden at the same time as several other roses and they are all thriving. don't suppose you have any suggestions on what else i could do to perk this rose up. As for the colour i wouldnt be suprised if my m-i-l had got the name wrong as she'd lost the tag years back and has no interest in roses.
