Rose Question
I planted a rose bush and it seems there hasn't been one rose on it
yet, which seems strange. It's getting lots of leaves but no buds. The rose bush next to it I bought at a different store and it's doing only ok. There have been one or two roses on it but it seems like no new buds. I planted it using a clay conditioner as our ground is very wet and clay-like. I then put some fertlizer on top of the soil...specifically for roses just as the directions said. DOes anyone have a clue as to why there would be no roses? Roseless in Danville (Laura) |

Too many unknowns to say. Where do you live, what region, what kind of
rose, etc... ben Laura M wrote: I planted a rose bush and it seems there hasn't been one rose on it yet, which seems strange. It's getting lots of leaves but no buds.

If you planted it this spring, you might only see a few blooms this year. The first year is devoted to building a good root system. Roses usually don't take off until the second and third year. I have something like 25 roses and only one of them is in full bloom right now in zone 6B (Nashville). I have 8 other roses that have lots of buds but only a few full blooms. I have two roses that have had a single bloom and have started throwing a few more buds. I have 4 or five roses that have yet to bloom but have a couple of buds. The other 14 haven't even budded yet or only have a bud or two and have yet to bloom. The next couple of weeks will make all of the difference in my garden. It really depends on the type of rose, the climate and the time of year with roses. This doesn't mean that you might not have a problem, but you probably need to have a little patience, especially if this is these roses' first season. If you're getting good healthy cane and leaf growth, I wouldn't worry. If you start getting brown canes or stunted growth, that's the time to start worrying a little. The thing that you *shouldn't* do is to overcompensate by over-fertilizing. Also, you want to make sure that it gets LOTS of sun. The more the merrier. If you're not getting at least a good 4-5 hours of sun (from 8am until about 6pm), then you might have a problem down the road. Roses crave sunlight. So, if you can answer ben's questions, adding how much sun you have and when you planted them, we might be able to help more... |

Rose Question
i have similar problem with a bush which i planted two years ago - last
season i made allowances for the plant's extreme youth but this season i glare at it each time i go past it and it knows that if it doesn't perform within the next month it will be 'off with its head' and trunk and roots ..... it has well behaved roses on either side so i have decided that it must just be a dud! better luck with your problem |
