        They are early - I`ve only got Banksiae Lutea in flower - oh and Rugosa. I used to have Canary bird, I think it`s supposed to be the earliest ??

                    How much shade is it in ? The buds may have also been damaged by the winter weather, I saw one the other day where the buds just shrivelled up went brown and dropped off

                      Hi Perki, it's up by the decking in the corner and gets sun till about 3pm in the afternoon when that part goes dull...my ex-neighbour gave it me from a garden centre she worked at it was in full flower and the next year then all the leaves fell off, so I trimmed it right back and it's in to it's 3rd year from being trimmed to this growth plus in this heat all my plants get watered every couple of days.

                      Here's a better view of it :)

                        Give it a chance. At the moment it's putting its energy into growing, after being "unwell." It seems to have recovered well. It should flower next year.
