I have two of the above roses that I purchased recently. I planted into
large pots to the depth there were in their pots with a small handful of
blood,fish and bone. I have also fed them with diluted liquid tomato feed
but I have noticed that the flower buds have started to droop over and the
stem behind the bud has thinned and turned brown, and the buds have died
off. I have cut the roses back and have continued watering and feeding them
as advised by the garden centre I purchased them from. Has anyone heard of
this before and what is it called? I have learned that these old roses only
flower once a year, so have given up hope for any more blooms this year. Any
advice or information would be greatly appreciated.
