I just read the fine print on both the golden & lavender and these are mini or miniature roses. Sending out runners? I think he meant the canes or stems are long. And if so, you can peg the canes along the ground so you get blooms on the canes.

 

@JustJazzmom  As I mentioned, I have these roses, and the lateral canes root in the ground.

Philip was wrong in saying that they  have runners -- no rose grows by sending out runners. Yes, a lateral cane will root if it's pegged down -- and rose cuttings will root if propagated properly. But runners? No.

 

Climbing roses need to be trained and secured to a support -- they don't send out suckers like vines do. They need a support like a trellis, a pergola, or a fence, and they need to be tied to that support.

 

Roses also don't like wet feet, so if the base of that rock is poorly-drained, roses are a bad choice. They need well-drained soil.
