This is my first ever rose! It’s teasing Georgia, she’s preformed so well and I woke up to a beautiful bunch of them and wanted to share 💛💛💛

This is Emily Brontë planted bare root in March if this year. Gave a decent flush in the spring but the new growth look like this? Other than the stunted leaves, I don’t see the classic dreaded disease characteristics: excessive thorns, cluster of deformed canes etc. I’m tempted to just pull it out as I have a small garden with tons of roses planted close but I want to hear what you guys think first. Pic 5 I bent the cane so you can see the underside.TIA

Looking for some opinions on the health/growth of my roses.
These canes have been putting out a lot of dark red/bronze new growth, and some of the newer canes are very thick, reddish, and have pretty irregular/heavy thorn growth. The new leaves also look somewhat distorted in places.
The plants otherwise seem vigorous and are actively growing. I know red foliage and red canes can be completely normal on roses, but the combination of the thick shoots, thorn pattern, and unusual-looking new growth has me wondering if this is just healthy basal growth or something I should be concerned about (RRD or another issue).
Photos show several different areas of the plants.
Does this look like normal vigorous rose growth to you, or is there anything here that would concern you? I’m in the Chicagoland area.

Third year of blooming

Hello. I’m attempting to force a basal break/basal cane growth on my Eden climber rose. I live in zone 6. Short bloom season. Figured I’d sacrifice a season to focus on cane growth in order to enjoy the blooms the following season. I used the crunch & bend method on my Eden’s canes. My questions are:

1. Should I remove all of the node growth near the tops of my bent canes & stems? How do I identify node growth I should keep?

2. How do I identify which node grow will become a basal cane? Google says all basals come directly from the base or below soil line, but I know that’s not always true. My Earth Angel rose produces basal canes around 6 inches from the base on older cut basals.

I’ve attached images of both my Eden rose where I’m pointing to new growth near the base on a cane & of my Earth Angel rose showing where the basal canes are growing on other basal canes. Any tips or advice is most welcome. The info I’ve found online is quite confusing to me. Thanks!

I have this rose, and I’m not sure what variety it is, but it looks a lot like Earth Angel. It blooms repeatedly and has a subtle fragrance. I’m not sure how to train it. Would it be a good idea to train it along the balustrade, or would it be better to let it grow as a bush?

Stopped flowering and shot out these really long canes from the base several weeks ago. My understanding is Emily Brontë is own-root, yes? Otherwise I’d be concerned this was a rootstock reversion.

Is this normal for EB?
