Mine was own root and it has given me several offspring...particularly as I've tried to move it from a shady spot, it keeps throwing up another one at the original spot from root remnants. A tough, fearless rose.ProfessorRoushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17827625019371233145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2891478286629018612.post-12675042158343516672023-03-01T21:13:46.979-06:002023-03-01T21:13:46.979-06:00Thanks for this wonderful review of Champlain!

The biggest is that they have pushed other roses out of the local market. I never (well, twice) buy roses locally because no one sells antiques, but it would be nice to be able to make an impulse purchase now and then. Bigger in another sense even than that are the thorns on these bushes. Gosh, they're totally lethal. A friend had three of them rooted on Fortuniana (can you imagine? KnockOuts on steroids!). She finally decided they were just too dangerous to prune and to have near her front door and had them yanked out with a chain on the end of a pickup truck. But that's Florida for you.sherryocalahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367991971551038582noreply@blogger.com
