Much to my surprise the following spring I noticed rose branches coming up out of the ground and realized that it must have been from their old rose.  Of course it took me another year to realize that it was the graft root Dr. Huey.<\/p>\n<p>I decided to keep the rose. After all, by accident, it was the first rose in my garden!<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Huey seems to only bloom here once a year and it blooms on old wood so whether it blooms at all depend upon how harsh the last winter was.  As a result my Dr. Huey weed rose only seems to bloom about every second year, but when it blooms it&#8217;s spectacular.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t mind it&#8217;s red blooms one bit.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds--><p>My Dr. Huey seems to bloom in late June.
