climbing rose bush does not bloom

we planted our climbing rose bush on the west side with plenty of sun. it’s pruned well, beautiful and green and climbs but does not bloom. I don’t want to get rid of it, my daughter give it to me for mothers day 3 years ago but it has never produced roses.


Rose suckers running rampant

I have a couple of rose bushes in which the grafted plant died and suckers have taken over. Will these suckers ever bloom? Would it be best to remove the plant? If I do dig it out, how long should I wait to replant in the same location (hole)?


Roses not blooming

This past Spring, all 5 of my rose bushes bloomed beautifully – big, full roses. After the blooms faded, I cut them just above a 5-leaf part of the stem. Since then (about 2 months, now) only 2 bushes have bloomed – small, paltry blooms. I noticed that on one of the bushes, the 5-leaf piece is down to 1 or 2 leaves. I’m wondering what happened to the other leaves? And, more importantly is there anything I can do to get them blooming again? A couple of them do not get a lot of sun (but why did they bloom so well in the Spring?).We started a rose service last month (they fertilize/spray). Thank you for any help you can give me!


The rabbits ate the petals off my rose cutting

I have a Chrysler Imperial 6 inch cutting that I transplanted in the spring. The root system was nicely developed and new growth had emerged. The plant was doing quite well until the rabbits ate all the new growth. Since then it’s been very hot and the remaining 5 original leaves have dropped. What can I do to bring the plant back to a healthy state in the heat of the summer?

Mini Roses indoors, need some advice

I’m a college student in central Ohio and a new rosarian. I have potted miniature roses in my home. I’ve done all that I’m supposed to to keep them alive and healthy but they’re leaves have shedded and the stems have turned brown or black and shriveled up. Is there any hope of them growing again?


What to do with a very ancient rose bush

I have moved to a new house which has a very old and established rose bush on a south facing wall with plenty of space in the garden. The trunk has a 15cm diameter and it spans in both directions along a wall for 10 feet either side. I pruned it back well last year but for the second year running, very few roses. Any ideas what I should do as I don’t want to chop it down but it is not very pretty! The pear tree next to it produces a great crop so the soil seems to be ok. Any help appreciated!
