Kara explains the difference between own-root roses and grafted roses, and why you should choose own-root roses for your garden.
A huge benefit of own-root roses is that own-root roses will always produce the same blooms, so you will never have to worry about a bloom coming up that is the wrong color.
Other benefits include:
🌹Own-root roses are hardier than grafted roses because their crown has not been weakened. The bud union of a grafted rose is vulnerable to cold and can be easily damaged during a hard winter.
🌹Own-root roses come back true to variety if frozen to the ground, because they have their own root system. Winter kill is less likely.
🌹Own-root roses are shapelier because they send up shoots from their own roots. This creates a fuller plant over time, which adds to increased vigor, bloom, and life expectancy.
