Thought I'd consult on my problems.

First the roses that have not
repeat bloomed for me.

Alex Mackenzie.
This is a 2 yr old plant. Its healthy as all get out and is
about 5' wide by 7' tall. After the first glorious 3 week
flush in May absolute silence. Every week I look to see
if the many new shoots are showing any buds nary a sign.
I will euthanize it if it does not put out for me.

Climbing Old Blush.
Its now a 3 feet tall six month old
shrub but it gave me 3 flowers in may
and thats it. Any ideas.

Louise Odier
Last year as a 4' shrub I got 4 distinct
flushes from it. This year as a 5' wide by 8'
giant I've got just the one May flush. How do
I get it to bloom again.

Compte De Chambord.
Isn't this a repeat bloomer? No
blooms since may and no sign of any either.
The only colorless giant in it bed.
Will Euthanize unless it puts out.

Kaiserin Auguste Viktoria.
It was a continual bloomer last year
but has put out just a single bud this year.
Might euthanize.

Next the Basal problems(lack of)

Iceberg
This is a 3 year old plant. I got
it as grafted w/ 3 1/2" canes.
One cane died but the the entire
4' wide by 4' tall bush is supported
by the 2 remaining canes. not a single basal
in 3 years. what gives. It seems very healthy
and is never without blooms.

Eden.
This is supposedly a pillar rose.
It 2 years old but is still a nice leafy
2'x2' shrub. Nary a bloom.
Nor any growth. nor any basals.
