root stock question
I had a very nice tea rose that my daughter had given me and it died off. I
dug it up and now after several years has come back from the root. I know that it is not the original but it has been growing for about 3 years with no blooms. Will it ever bloom and should I let it grow or dig it again. It is a lovely bush and very nice size but just no blooms. I also had a Blaze climber that died off and has come back from the dead some years later from the root and I haven't had any blooms on it either. I live in MN so was just wondering if I should dig them up again. Sharon in MN |

Both of these roses are roses that bloom on last years growth. Since you live in Minnesota and these roses are probably dying back in the winter, all you are getting is the new year's growth with no blooms. Definitely dig them up throw them away and plant something new. Check out the Canadian Explorer and Parkland roses. These are varieities that are specifically hybridized to be winter hardy in cold climates. Just Google 'Canadian Explorer roses' or 'Parkland roses' or 'Buck roses'. Have a good one, Bob Bauer http://www.rose-roses.com/ |
