I have shrub roses that have soft red branches,quite a lot of them. Is this what is called suckers? They're not coming
from the base of the plant.

no, suckers come from the base, the root stock. Your rosebush is growing. When roses grow, the new shoots start off red.

Thanks, I almost cut them off but thank goodness thought better of it.I love the flowers they produce but not a great lover of keeping them,I never had much success before but there were quite a few when I moved to this house so thought Ill persevere and see how they perform.
