My roses are carefully grown from cuttings, well-rooted (but smaller than typical budded bushes.) These should live much longer than grafted plants and spread into a more naturally full and graceful form. Ownroot roses are great for colder climates too! If the plant freezes above ground, its roots still survive and spring forth new growth and flowers true to type. This makes for a vigorous, hardy plant on a much deeper, healthier root system, with more blooms per branch and more branches per bush Experts say, a small own-root plant will catch up to a grafted one and even surpass it in just a couple of years.
