@CindiKS, Cindi ...
A grade 1 bare root rose has three good canes coming out of the bud union. Of course, a rose can have more than three, but less than three is a lower grade of rose. When the rose industry was much, much larger, budders had a quota of 5,000 roses per day to bud. Those guys were amazing. There was a larger percentage of grade one roses produced back then than there are today. The art of budding is becoming a lost art.
