Take the possibility of rainfall and flash flooding seriously when hiking the canyons of Northern Arizona. It is a good idea before you hike to study maps to identify possible escape routes. Be especially careful hiking the Grand Canyon, Marble Canyon, and Glen Canyon regions.
Own-root roses are propagated by rooting stem cuttings of one variety of rose. From the band size pots tyically sold, the plants will put out a few new full-sized canes each year and then reach mature height and width in 2-5 years, depending on the variety.

Often though not always, there's a second graft at the bottom of the trunk, attaching the top part of the plant to winter-hardy roots of a third variety.
