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). 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. 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. |

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. |
