Hi all, I am new to this sub but not necessarily new to roses. Although, most of my experience has been with bushes in the ground...until this past year. I had 3 bushes in very large lots, planting them about March 2023, and now it's February 2024 and I have moved them to put in ground in my rose garden.

My question is the following: when I moved the pots, each of the 3 bushes had roots that had grown out the bottom of the pots. Now I'm not worried if the bushes will survive, I am confident they will. I would like to know if there's any hope of a new bush forming from the roots still in the ground? Has anyone had any experience with this? Should I leave them to grow with high hopes of a new surprise bush? Or continue with my original plan of moving the pots to utilize that space differently?
