Hello,

I have never been a gifted gardener. This is the first year we've
tried roses. It's a 'CL Golden Showers', in a 16-inch pot. We planted
a bareroot a couple of months ago.

A couple of days ago, it blossomed for the first time! But the blossom
died in about two days. Is that normal? If so, will we get a lot of
blooms each year? If it's not normal, how can we fix it?

Thank you!
