how long to rose blooms last?
I planted 3 rose bushes this year, so they are young. They keep
blooming, but the blooms don't last that long before the petals fall off. Then its waiting for new buds to grow and rebloom. I prune the old blooms off. Is this normal? Somebody told me that once they bloom, the flowers are supposed to stay for quite awhile? |

It depends on the type of rose you have, as well as weather and other conditions. I would recommend patience, since your roses are only recently planted. It can take months or more for a rose to become established. Once they're established, you will get a better idea of their performance. Gail near San Antonio TX Zone 8 USA |

are you pruning properly? you want to cut just above a branch of five leaves
some only have three or two. you should get continues blooms if you proon properly. the flower does not last all that long. i have 1 long stem rose bush.the flower on that one lasts longer that any of the others. i have about 10 rose bushes some of the flowers last longer than others. proper pruning will give you more blooms. they may last longer as the bush matures.miracle grow makes a formula just for roses i believe it helped my newly planted bushes really take off. also water at the base not the whole plant. they do not like their leave getting wet. wrote: I planted 3 rose bushes this year, so they are young.

Your plants are young, you've enjoyed some blooms. It's time to be patient. I would remove all the buds and thereby encourage it to rest. Instead of letting your plant bloom itself to exhaustion you should encourage it to focus on creating a stronger root stock this year.
