This beautiful plant/rose does sucker a lot after a few years. Even when bud-grafted. Those pop-up ± a meter from the original plant It might perform as a mighty defence-fence. With big prickles, red new shoots and foliage... and vigorous as it is!
The dark red new canes can get up to 2,50m in one season. In other words, it is vigorous! Other people wonder in awe when they see the plant. It's very healthy... no Blackspot, mildew or rust so far.
