Non blooming rose

Question

I removed a rose bush and must have left some of the root. A new plant grew and bloomed one cluster. Since then it has not bloomed, but continues to grow. How can I help it bloom?

Answer 1

You may not want to. The rose root stock that is growing can become a real monster and take over a garden area. Most of the hardy root stocks used for grafting roses kind of bloom when and if they want to.
