I have a rose of Sharon that bloomed a few flowers after they died the bush got full of buds they look nice and healthy but they won’t open the bush has been full of buds now 3 weeks or more.Can you tell me why they will not open.This is the 3rd season we have had it and never has this happened before.
Excessive shade: Rose of Sharon will not bloom up to its full capabilities if given too much shade.
Rot: During rainy summers, rot can set in and ruin the flower buds (although you may not notice it from the outside). The same effect can be produced by excessive watering if you water overhead.
Drought: Conversely, during dry summers, rose of Sharon flower buds may be damaged from drought and fail to open.
