new bushes
I bought two new rose bushes a few months ago and planted them. They both
are healthy and producing roses. One of the bushes has very strong branches. If there are a few roses on a branch, it doesn't get limp. The other bush is very "limp". Once a rose blooms the branch can't handle the weight and the branch falls towards the ground. Is this something that will improve with time, or should I toss and replace in planting season ? |

It depends on the variety.
Many of the David Austin English roses exhibit this behavior. "Super Thrive" will elongate vegetative growth and aggravate this phenomena. It contains a hormome that is also found in Alfalfa.
