I'm pretty sure it isn't root stock. We never had roses in this particular
bed, and it's unlike any rose we have so far. We've got an Iceburg out
front, a pink which the name escapes me right now, and a pink rugosa up in
the raised bed. This one's got abundant medium sized leaves that are quite
tender, compared the others. I've had to thin out the canes each year on
this unknown because it seems to get too leafy for it's own good - poor air
flow and crossing canes.

Anyone have any suggestions, still? Is it possible for a rose to not bloom?
And why?

Are you sure it grew from seed? I transplanted
a Floribunda last year and this year a "new"
rose is coming up in its (old) place. That would
be the rootstock, of course. If it's Dr. Huey
and blooms (spring, red) I might keep it. If
it's some other rootstock that never blooms,
I will probably shovel prune it.
