So I'm scratching my head wondering just what happened with it that it went rogue.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree? :)

LOL.
Well, it was a Fathers Day gift.
*scratching forehead*
It appears to be an 'Own Root Stock' rose, a rose germinated and grown on its own roots as opposed to being grafted to hardier roots like most roses with a 'bud union'.

I'm wondering if that has anything at all to do with it.
And if so, how and why.
