I know we are all busy, but I also know there are lots of experienced gardeners out there who can help me. Anyone game? I hope someone can help! When we moved to our new house almost 2 years ago, our yard came with a beautiful rose bush. We re-did the front walk and the landscapers transplanted it to another part of the yard. This year it did not come back well at all. There are only 2 small sections of new growth on what looks to be an otherwise dead bush. Is it savable? Should I cut the new growth and try to plant those? I am clueless! We also have some shrub roses that had a beautiful first bloom, but are not continuing to bloom as I would like. Is there something I can do to encourage the blooms? Would epsom salts (as someone had suggested for another flower) help? -- Debbie deb www.debrasrhapsody.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 Hello Debbie, In my experience with shrub roses, and with may perennials, trimming them after the first bloom encourages them to put new blooms on throughout their season. I have a shrub rose that I bought this year, and it was already in bloom when we purchased it. Once the initial bloom ended, I deadheaded it, removing all the old flowers, and pruned back a little from the stalks that held the flowers. Within 3 weeks, I have a whole new batch of flowers, more than I had before, in fact. If you go to the about.com's gardening section, they have a lot of excellent information about gardening, including a video on how to trim back your roses. Try that, it will probably work. Regarding the other rose, you did not say if it was a climber, a tea rose, etc, but generally speaking, there could be many reasons it is not thriving in the new spot. Is it getting the same amount of sun? Maybe the Ph is off in the new location, or the soil composition may be different. Perhaps you simply need to fertilize it, if there is not enough nutrients in the new location to feed the rose. Roses should be fertilized three times of year, optimally, as they are heavy feeders. Hope this helps a little... Eva , Debra McDuffee <deb wrote: > > I asked some questions about my poorly growing roses and I didn't > receive one reply.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 forgot to add that I am leary of putting epsom salts on plants because salt will kill plants. I remember my grandmother putting salt in the side walk cracks along the edge of the driveway to kill weeds. We salt our front steps in the winter and nothing will grow next to the steps or in front of them.
