  • Question
    My hybrid climbing rose is growing vigorously but leaves only. There are no signs of any flowers but another rose nearby is flowering well. What can I do to get the flowers to grow?
    Community Answer
    Check your soil and make sure the non-flowering rose is getting enough phosphorus. Also, check your light conditions. Your blooming rose may be receiving more sun than the non-blooming. Roses prefer morning and midday sun.

    What kind of preparations are needed for getting bushes ready for winter?

    Community Answer
    Trim away dead areas on the bush, and purchase a small tarp. Then prepare the soil around it by placing a small heater near the ground to protect the roots from freezing with the soil. Cover it all with a tarp.

  • Question
    Can I plant established dwarf roses in straight worm castings?
    Community Answer
    No, it is much too rich. A little bit of worm castings goes a long way. You could use it to make a worm tea to water roses planted in a properly prepared soil.
