I noticed after getting home that it only has one cane and you can see where it has been grafted bc the soil is slightly below the graft. Also, is it normal for a new bush to grow leaves that are soft and slightly flimsy feeling compared to my other 10 yr old plus rose bushes? I will say, it already has 12 rose buds on it after 3 weeks of being home. It seems to like the fish fertilizer I bought for it, I guess. It also appears healthy but I'm concerned about it only having one main cane. Note, the new home I bought has 14 different matured rose bushes, moreover I know nothing about them but I am learning a lot more about them from all the post's, so should I return it for one that has at least 3 main canes or keep it? Thank you all for your help.
