    Hello! I've recently received my new Strawberry Hill from David Austin and noticed all three canes have these deep scars on them. Is this anything to worry about?







    I thought it could be because of fluctuations of hot and cold weather and irregular watering but I don't really know. Does anyone else? Will it affect the health of the rose? Some of mine have stems like that too.

    The aerial view is even more impressive @Tack get well soon..

    @salo.daria I don't think that is going to be an issue.. lot my roses have those and even the ones which were burrowed by the saw fly have healed well.. Just enjoy your new rose.. Strawberry hill would be quite vigorous and will send many shoots soon.. worst case scenario, DA would give you a replacement if it fails within 5 years..
