Rose of Sharon Issues
I'm hoping mine comes back next year. The buds don't look so good.

Hi all,
I live about 20 miles north of Boston, Zone 5 and have a large ROS in my
yard that has done well for many years. This year I've got NOTHING, no
buds, no leaves, no signs of life. I just cut two large branches off of
it
(from the ground up) - it was getting way too large and I'm thinking
maybe
that will scare it into doing something :-)
There are no signs of disease or bugs or anything, and the large
sections I
cut appeared to be alive - it's hard to tell though, when it's dormant
it's
so stiff.
It usually leafs out late, but this is ridiculous.
Anybody have a ROS go quiet for a year then come back?? Or is this
thing
gonzo?
Thanks
LeeAnne
I live just west of Boston. I, too, thought my RoS might be
defunct, but it has just started leafing out.
