    I believe in training climbing roses as soon as possible. Tie the canes off to your desired support structure early on as the canes become large enough to tie off well. Here is a link to an article on this subject for you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/training-climbing-rose-plants.htm

    Most rose bushes are hybrids which can have many grafts from other plants. I have roses with 4 different colors. It makes a beautiful bouquet!

    Moving a rosebush while it is actively growing can kill a rosebush. It is best to wait until they go dormant and then move the bush or bushes in the early spring before it starts to leaf out. I recommend watering your rosebush with some water that has both a product called Super Thrive and a root stimulator in it. Give the rosebush this same type mix the next 5 or 6 times it needs watering. The super thrive helps the rosebush deal with transplant shock and other stresses, the root stimulator helps get the root system to growing well. The leaves turning yellow are caused by stress shock and the fact that the root system is now not established enough to support all the growth. Thus the bush sheds leaves. Once the rosebush has recovered using the water mix mentioned above, sprinkle 1/2 cup of Epsom Salts around the rosebush, work in lightly and water in well.

    Do you know the name of the rose? If yes, then search for that specific rose's care. Breeding for repeat blooming roses has had varying degrees of success. Regardless, repeat blooms will not match the flush of spring blooms. There are aspects of care that do make a difference in repeat bloomers. The plant needs full sun, at least 6 hours of direct sun daily; it should be fertilized several times during the growing season - the timing will depend on which fertilizer you use; and annual pruning stimulates more productive, younger canes. Check the website of the American Rose Society for detailed information.

    If the rose was planted this year, it may simply be focused on root growth at the expense of blooms. Feeding twice monthly seems excessive; too much nitrogen favors leaf growth over blooms. I'm not familiar with the product you mentioned but let's assume you followed the application instructions exactly. Does the plant get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily? Did you research your variety at sites like American Rose society and know that it is a re-blooming variety? The site will also help you learn how to prune this rose. Plant tags are too often not accurate or not what the average gardener will experience. With cooler weather, you may see bloom activity. A heat stressed plant may bloom less to conserve energy.
