Last year, a 10cm green shoot on one of my cream-flowering climbing roses, with vicious thorns, snapped in high wind. Rather than leave it dangling, I cut it off and stuck it in the ground amid the forest of gooseberry cuttings whose thorns protect our beds from being used as a toilet by the local cats.
To my surprise, this spring the rose "cutting" has not only stayed green but is visibly growing and flourishing and is now 20cm tall.
My question is, what sort of rose will I get?
Will it be a carbon copy of the "Mother"? Will it be cream? A climber?
The mother is a very healthy and vigorous plant that I got from Poundland but I know nothing at all about it.
