Does this rose sucker much on its own roots?

Not for me. Two plants own roots from 2011-2018.

I have just taken loads of cuttings of 'Leda' and Hebe's Lip'. It is standard practice in the U.K., where roses don't seem to sucker so much as they do in warmer countries, to plant a grafted plant deep enough to cover the graft union so that the sion can produce its own roots. There is a shoot growing next to 'Leda' and I can't decide whether it is from the actual rose or a sucker from the rootstock. I guess I will have to wait and see what it turns out to be next spring.
