User's notes
A rose that resprouted after previous treatment first photo shows the main rose cut at ground level after removal of litter and some soil; the red colour is from the dye mixed with glyphosate sprayd on the cut surface; second photo shows lateral root cut and treated and a new shoot from this lateral root on the left; third photo shows blue marked new shoot before cut (left), the cut lateral root (middle) and cut surface of the main plant (right). Roses are vicious re-sprouters and produce suckers from lateral roots - correct treatment and thorough check of lateral root suckers is crucial.
