Yeah abit, just abit bigger and the leaves were more shrivled and wholey?

Did you cut your roses back twice a year?

Any pests on it?

Hmm, I cant remember now. It was ages ago when it happend, bit thinking about it I proberly did. Is that what caused it? And can it be reversed.

Ohh no, there were none. (That I could see)

Yeah, just like that, but possibly it got abit darker. What was it?

Yeah, if they are still alive and growing then you can get them to bloom again.

Roses always bloom in the summer.

For them to bloom you will need to fertilize them. They need food.

You can buy special rose feeder http://www.gemgardening.co.uk/pages/feeds_superrose.htm

It will say on the pack how to dilute.

To bloom roses need to be fed and also to be cut back harshly in October and again in early spring.

Rust :sad:

Hmm ok. I'll have to try and persuade my mum to get some of that, or would normal plant food work?

We have lots of manure, or is that stuff best?

No they need special amount of nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium so normal flower food wont help. Miracle Gro is something like 24-8-16, heavy on the nitrogen. Rose food will be more like 8-10-8. Roses like more phosphorous to bloom.

you can pick some up for a couple of quid

Haha Kiz if I have any problems I am coming straight to you! :wink:

WOW thanks Kizzy, your like TiBBs version of Alan Titmarsh. I'll ask my mum to get some. Will it take like a year to work d'ya reckon, cuz ATM it looks nothing like a Rose, the leaves are tiny and its just, well, un-rose like.

Its in my Gene's, my parents are **** hot gardeners and I guess I must have picked it up from them.

Oh and my Brother is a gardener for out local town estate.


Have you cut them back this year yet?
