Phillip: I don't disbud my roses the season planted. I water and feed them
and let them go their merry way. I do cut back the canes a bit at planting
time.

I'm not familiar with Rambling Rector. Describe it for me and give sources,
please.

Where is Sadorus? I once lived in Illinois; don't know your town.
