Hmmm. Strange, I just planted a JFK that had no blooms on it when I planted
it. Then within 2 weeks I had 3 blooms, but I neglected to water it as it's
in an odd spot in my yard, then when I started to water it again, it put out
3 more blooms, but again I neglected to water it properly. Now Im back on
track and watering daily, hopefully it will produce 3 more that I can cut
and vase.

As I read this, I have 2 beautiful JFKs cut in a bud vase in my kitchen.
They are huge and pure white. I'd don't understand the problem with
JFK.
I
don't get a lot of blooms, but what I get are truly beautiful.

Well, that's exactly the problem for most people with JFK. Yes, the
blooms
are nice.... IF you can get it to put any out!!! I liked the ones I had
too, but it hardly ever bloomed. The space in my tiny yard is too
valuable
to waste on a rose that's going to put out 2 or 3 blooms tops per year.
Too
bad, cuz it does put out really nice blooms. Just not often enough.
