Unless you have a hybrid tea that's root-stock is going nuts. (which
they can especially when the union joint is under soil.)  I'm
guessing you have an old Gallica on your hands. Is it once blooming? 
Gallicas are know to sucker. Let them come up if they are not too
invasive yet. If you have your fill, perhaps gardeners in your area
would like some rooted suckers. That's how I collected 5 of my old
roses.

The suckers are occuring only on the orphaned roses that I just
adopted but
I was wondering if there is something that one does wrong which
encourages
suckers to grow?  Or is this just a normal thing that happens after
awhile..just wondering???
