Is this gall? Noticed it today on my new-ish leap of faith from GRF

It has styrofoam like texture when I scratched it.

Welcome to the Forum AR,

It doesn’t look like gall to me, more like a surface root. If you are paranoid about it, get a container of ferti*lome Fire Blight powder. Double the dose on the container (would be 2 tablespoons) and drench the entire base of the rose and soil. This is no guarantee but can act as a preventative.

Let’s see some other rosarians think.
