An accidental rose propagation question...

[Storm]

Last year, a 10cm green shoot on one of my cream-flowering climbing roses, with vicious thorns, snapped in high wind. Rather than leave it dangling, I cut it off and stuck it in the ground amid the forest of gooseberry cuttings whose thorns protect our beds from being used as a toilet by the local cats.

To my surprise, this spring the rose "cutting" has not only stayed green but is visibly growing and flourishing and is now 20cm tall.

My question is, what sort of rose will I get?

Will it be a carbon copy of the "Mother"? Will it be cream? A climber?

The mother is a very healthy and vigorous plant that I got from Poundland but I know nothing at all about it.

It should be exactly the same as the mother. The only reason it might not is if the mother was a grafted rose and the 'branch' came from below the graft, but it doesn't sound like it from your description.

Congrats! A new baby!

I'm a proud dad!!

Once it gets a bit bigger it will go up the allotment and climb the fence where I hope the thorns will be a good to deter vandals!!
