    Question… Due to a move I transplanted 4 Jackson Perkins rosebushes that were full of huge beautiful blooms…to a new location…prepared soil as I did when first planting…they are growing well in their new location except they now look like tiny tearose bushes…tiny leaves…tiny buds…I am perplexed to say the least. I live in Blount and transferred them to the same county…same sun exposer etc…

    The only explanation I can think of is that the tops of the grafts died and that the growth you now see is coming from the rootstocks.
