No flowers on rose bush

Question

When there are blind shoots, can you get them to ever form buds and bloom?

Answer 1

Unfortunately no. Blind shoots remain without bloom and are major nutrient robbers from the rest of the bush. It is best to prune them out as far down on the bush as possible. Be sure you do in fact have blind shoots tough, check out this link to an article on rosebushes not blooming: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/no-blooms-on-roses.htm
