Starting with Roses

Good evening @Paul Benson we will have to agree to disagree my friend,you still have to repot your Rose in to your container,which I in my opinnion will cause a fair amount of stress,enjoy your evening

IMHO The bare root rose if prepared for and cared correctly will give as good a display

I cannot except that the blind canes are caused by Rose being in its first year and being bare root

My opinnion why Roses don't bloom

1.Fertilizer – One of the most common reasons for them not blooming well is the use of high nitrogen foods or fertilizers or the over use of them. The rose bushes tend to generate a lot of foliage and very few to no blooms at all. Use a well balanced food or fertilizer when feeding your roses so that all of the rose’s nutritional needs are met.

2.Pests – Insects can eat away the little buds as the blooms are forming, thus there are no buds to develop into blooms.

3.Environmental stress – A rose bush that is under stress from any source be it heat, cold, wind injury or insect attacks, replanting,can indeed stop a rose bush from blooming.

4.Light – In some cases, it can have to do with the amount of sunlight the rose bushes are getting. Rose bushes love the sun and need to get a minimum of five hours of sunlight per day to perform at all. The more sunshine they can get, the better the rose bushes will perform.

5.Water – Keeping your rose bushes well watered helps reduce stress on the overall bush, thus can contribute to bloom production. If the temps have been in the mid to high 90’s for several days, the roses can easily become stressed due to the heat and a lack of water makes that stress ten times worse.
