roses

Question

hello,
I’ve had a rosebush for almost 20 years, it always bloomed until the last few years, now its big and healthy and always growing new shots, but no longer blooms..ideas?

Answer 1

Are you pruning it annually: removing old, gray canes, canes that cross/rub and canes that grow toward the middle? If you have been feeding it regularly, get a soil test to see if there is a nutrient problem. Deficiencies and toxicity can lead to lack of blooms. Getting it through your state/county extension service gives the most information. More info here: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/no-blooms-on-roses.htm
