This rose was a mystery until just last week. We have a rose rambling alongside and inside our \u201cAlistair Stella Gray\u201d rose that I knew I didn\u2019t plant. It had to be the rootstock of another rose. Last week, I looked it up and found that most roses are grafted onto the strong growing Dr. Huey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Huey may not be the best rose ever developed, but he has his merits. And this time of year, we see him all over Seattle! He is by far the most common rose around, having outlasted all of his fancier grafted tops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
