why do my roses grow only one bud?

Answer 1

Hi!
O.k....take all of the other responses, mush them together and...wow....they all have great info about the "Type" of roses.....but not really the solution to the lack of blooms. Now.......I'm going to assume that you refer to the lack of roses all over the bush, not to the fact that they only grow one on the end of the stem.....of course....you know what happens when you "assume"...

Roses like the strangest things. Full sun, well aerated soil, lots of room for their footsies, dry leaves, and......banana peels. Yup...banana peels. Supplies potassium which is needed to produce buds/flowers. Especially if they are planted by the house/foundation. It leaches potassium from the soil.

Easiest way to do this is sit on the porch, eat the banana, before going in, walk over to the rose bush, squat down, push aside the mulch, spread out the banana peel, cover with that mulch you pushed aside, (pick of that blasted Japanese beetle and grind it to mush).... and go back inside before you have a heat stroke. Next night, same thing, but........do a different bush. Keep doing this in a round robin sort of way and they will have potassium and blossoms out the wazoo....
Not only will your roses love you, you'll keep the leg cramps at night from doing knee squats after a hard day at work away by having some potassium yourself!

Now....don't forget to dead-head, but....if you live in the south, leave a few of the hips on over winter so they have the spring burst enzymes ready at hand, trim in the SPRING not the FALL, and you should be fine.

Good luck and happy gardening!!

April or ought to. once you be conscious buds you should prune the roses. reduce cane to about a million foot extreme purely above a bud it is starting to be outwards. you should attempt for an umbrella structure once you prune. Roses get diseases because of solar no longer hitting leaves. So in case you eliminate center and make umbrella structure solar hits all leaves and also you get a lot less ailment. At each and each and every reduce placed a drop of Elmer's White Glue, this may harden and keep the trojan horse from getting into and drilling out the stem which kills it. Roses also like magnesium. in case you position 1tbsp of Epsom Salts in a gallon of water and water the bottom around the rose it is going to do better. do no longer moist the leaves as this facilitates diseases. each and each and every time a rose is done with a flower you could reduce it off to the first 5-leaf. even as the rose receives leaves on it inspect them. you'll see 3, 4, 5 or 6 leaf coming off stem. The flora come from the 5-leaf, why? you could ought to ask God, i do no longer understand why. July is the perfect month to fertilize as you do not pick to rigidity mushy boom in late fall because it is going to die contained in the wintry climate weakening plant. you should reduce decrease back to 2' in fall yet no better. significant pruning in Spring. imagine of it this manner, if the stem dies decrease back a million foot over wintry climate and stem is two ft lengthy, you've a million foot left alive. in case you reduce decrease back to at least a million foot in fall and it dies decrease back a million foot in wintry climate, then you definately don't have from now on some thing.
