Standard roses are grafted onto a rootstock stem at about 1,2 metres, you can see the knobbly union of the top and rootstcok, the idea being to have the flowering head raised off the ground to where is can be seen.
Ideally, you don’t want any growth from the stems and if you allow it to develop, it will be growth growth the rootstock not the flowering head of the plant.
