If you have one on it's own root, you only need one as the roots spread and shoots come up near by.

Ok... I'll see if I love this rose enough ahahah
Anyway, this is another very Gallica-like trait. This plant is really like a strongly reblooming Gallica hybrid. Pretty unique in the entire rose world, I think.

Update: my own roots Rose de Resht is doing unbelievably well, despite being still in a 6 l container. She's suckering and blooming like there's no tomorrow, developing in a thick mass of fragrant foliage and developing flower buds (she had already given a fair number of blooms before).
I'm keeping all my new roses well watered and fertilized, and I added some mycorrhizal supplement too.

Hi Jay-Jay. Just came across these comments in relation to Rose de Rescht. We have one here going into it's third season, own root, and I've just noticed there are five small new shoots about 20cm tall growing about 20-30cm from the plant. All are covered in leaflets. Are you saying these would be defined as suckers as for me they are new shoots from the root of the cultivar? I plan to carefully dig them out and plant them around the garden. One of our favourite roses here, flowers almost continually from late May until December. Cheers

Do You have photo's?
At my place, at first the suckers appeared at that distance too, later on at 50cm.
It doesn't go berserk as for suckering.
I would suggest let them grow this season and dig them up in Fall. Than plant them at new places...
Or dig them up now, prune off 1/3 and pot them. Plant in Fall or Spring next year.
Good luck, Bonne Chance!

Jay-Jay thank you for your reply and advice. I will see how much the new offspring grow in the next month and maybe replant them elsewhere in the gardens in the autumn. Two photos uploaded for you.

'Rose de Rescht' seems to have been confused in commerce with 'Rose du Roi'. I have had a very healthy own-root 'Rose de Rescht' for decades, and never once has it produced a sucker or runner. This was discussed in another (now-gone) forum of knowledgable old rose experts years ago, and the consensus was that there is a large contingent of supposed 'Rose de Rescht' out there which are actually 'Rose du Roi' specimens, as a large group of people had the "runner version," and an equally large group had the "never any runners version." Unfortunately, none of the posters had both, so a point by point comparison of them was never posted.

Which of the photographed or pictured Roses du Roi do You mean?
Almost none look like the picture Jonathan Windham posted.

My point is in relation to comments on suckers or runners vis-a-vis 'Rose du Rescht' and 'Rose du Roi', not any of the HMF pictures of 'Rose du Roi'.

I'm not talking about pictures odinthor.
I'm referring to which of those roses de-pictured as Rose du Roi would You like to compare with those depictured as Rose de Rescht as for the habit of suckering?
What withholds You from comparing Yourselves? I would be interested in Your outcome.

I'm told that "Rose de Rescht" in commerce in Australia is now consistently what we think is Joasine Hanet. Which suckers.

'Joasine Hanet', AKA "Portland from Glendora" in the USA is a tall rosebush. Mine grows to about 5' and I think it gets even taller in warmer climates. I believe 'Rose de Resht' remains at around 3-4'.

I would like to purchase a rose by the name of Gem of the Rockies. Do you know of anyone selling this rose?

No current nursery known selling 'Gem o' the Rockies' (Savorockies). Possibly you can get a cutting from one of the gardens listed.

I've had this rose for close to 20 years but one year several years ago it decided to come back from dormancy as Westerland. it's fine though as I love it either way. Usually a plant will revert one branch at a time but not so in this case. Very unusual.

I started this one as a band and was in shade for several years and did fine; but couple of years ago, moved it to a sunny spot facing east and it has really excelled with both with vigor and blooms. It's one of my favorites and has wonderful smell.

I bought St. Cecilia as own-root and it died in my zone 5a winter in heavy clay, I suspect St. Cecilia prefers loamy/sandy soil, and its roots can't handle my gluey & wet clay.
Thanks for any help, it's good to know what type of soil (clay, loam, sandy) is best for which own-root. The pH doesn't matter, since I have acidic rain pH 4.5, as well as alkaline tap water at pH 9 (I can easily fix my tap water with acid-fertilizer).

I am trying to locate a nursery that carries St. Cecilia and you mentioned that you had purchased one. Please give me more info on nursery, etc.

It is has grown back every year for me in upstate NY, also zone 5a, but does not grow very big, and rarely blooms.

I dug the soil around St. Cecilia. I over-compensated .. it was stingy in a wet-potting soil, so I made my clay really fluffy with pine-bark, and it got too acidic.
