Bare Rose Rootstocks
Most all roses are grafted onto hardy rootstocks that are more vigorous
and hardy than their native root stocks. Hybrid Tea roses grow much more
vigorously on a root stock other than their own roots. The most commonly
used root stocks are:
Dr. Huey
Most roses grown in the United States are grown in and around Wasco,
California. This root stock thrives in this area. It is very heat tolerant.
Roses using this rootstock and grown in the upper midwest and north east
will need water protection.
Multiflora
This root stock is used primarily by producers in cold weather areas.
Almost all of our roses from Canada are on Multiflora rootstock.
Rugosa (Alba or Rubra)
Used primarily as root stock for hybrid Rugosa roses.
Other rootstocks used occasionally used are Rosa coryn Laza, Rosa
rubrifolia, and Rosa canina. All miniatures and most landscape
roses are on their own roots.
