... when, oh when will these little buds ever open? LOL My New Dawn is covered in buds and i am just on the edge of my seat waiting for opening night!! I have a New Dawn. It took about 3 years for it to get to the point where blooms seemed to just take over the bush. I don't recall how long it takes for the flowers to mature from bud to bloom, though. But it can be spectacular. It sounds like you have a treat in store. Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 |

I planted them last year and I was worried when I only had about 3 vines on each plant. But they have grown to about 10 feet and have so many branches coming off those original vines and then those branched off, etc! SO there is a TON of new growth this year and it is just covered in buds. I think they started about 1-2 weeks ago and while there are a ton of tiny new buds there are some big hefty ones that must be near maturity. I am very pleased because it is my first attempt and these were cheap plants from Home Depot. I had read about different roses, own-root roses, lots of posts on here and I new it was a gampble doing it the way I did. I was hoping that a beginner like myself would at least have *hope* if I found New Dawn LOL If I did it again I would've gotten 2 different varieties to cover the trellis rather than 2 of the same (and I probably only needed 1) JoAnna Long Island (zone 7 I think) |

SO there is a TON of new growth this year and it is just covered in buds. I think they started about 1-2 weeks ago and while there are a ton of tiny new buds there are some big hefty ones that must be near maturity. On roses, they're called canes, not vines. I am very pleased because it is my first attempt and these were cheap plants from Home Depot. You were smart to pick a hardy variety. I had read about different roses, own-root roses, lots of posts on here and I new it was a gampble doing it the way I did.

New Dawn is probably one of those. Mine grew like a weed, and has some very thick canes. It survived when I killed other roses early in my experience. On my arbor I have New Dawn on one side and Don Juan on the other. Don Juan has a beautiful big red bloom but the plant isn't doing well. But when it blooms it's a nice contrast to New Dawn. BTW here's the zone map. You can search on your state and county: http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/ushzmap.html Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 |
