I have read lots of pasts and I hope someone can help us. I planted 2
Cuthbert Grant roses last year and 2 Winnipeg Parks this year and they were
beautiful. I didn't trim them at all because I read the first year you are
supposed to let them concentrate on getting good roots. This year the
Cuthberts started out amazing as did the Winnipeg Parks. I trimmed the dead
blooms off and now I have nothing. All four were fertilized in the spring
with a pellet type fertilizer I worked into the soil and you are supposed to
do it every two months. I also gave them some miraclegro for roses last
week just to see if it would help. I water them 3 times a week with a slow
running hose for about ten minutes per bush as I was told this promotes deep
roots. I live in zone 3 in southern Manitoba and it has been a hot and
sunny summer so far. They roses get full sun morning to nite.

These are my first attempts at roses so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Pat, it sounds like you're doing everything fine. Are the roses
growing? Some roses will produce their flowers in flushes with a rest
in between. Your plants are very young, and sometimes it can take a
couple of years for a rose to really take off.
