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.
Budded roses take on the virus of the rootstock even if the bud came from a virus-free variety. However, if a rose is grown own-root from a virus-free plant then the baby will remain virus free. Conversersely, if the cutting for an own-root plant is taken from a virused Mother Plant, then the baby will carry the virus.
