Default New Dawn on East Coast

Hi. I am new to the group. I recently planted a New Dawn, It already has
at least 7-8 canes on the plant, but no blooms! Should I just be patient?
It hasn't been really sunny here in New Jersey. It's rained for the most
part of three weeks. I just don't see any buds at all. My tea and
floribundas are finally starting to bloom, after a three week break.
TIA
Eileen

Mine is just blooming now...well, the one still in the pot; the one
in the ground, planted next to a tree in the hope it would climb
into the tree's branches, has not bloomed at all this year. My
potted one I bought on the cheap on a closeout deal from Wayside
Gardens late this spring (yeah, yeah, not the best source, probably
on bad rootstock for this region, but they were marked down, some
by 3/4 and many 2/3, and I couldn't resist: also picked up a mess
of Romanticas and Austins that way. We're talking bare-root roses
refrigerated for too long, arriving here in North Florida in late May
and early June. I potted them up and kept them in the shade until
they leafed out, and I think that only one has died so far, that from
being planted in too-wet ground).

Sunny here in North Florida, zone 8b, but with spells of heavy
rain lasting from several days to a week from May until now --
and a couple of week-plus droughts. I'd just wait for your New
Dawn; maybe it just wants more sun.

Mark.

Yes. It is not unusual for large climbers to be extremely stingy with
bloom for a couple of years.

Hi Eileen! I planted my New Dawn last fall as a potted rose. It had a
nice flush right away, then a nice one this past spring, but for the
rest of our (Raleigh, NC) very wet summer it has just put out green
growth despite good fertilizer and full sun. Cass is right, give them
three good years to prove themselves. New Dawn is by all reports a
GREAT rose! Good choice.
