August 29, 2015A.Only some roses are bushy. Tea roses for example grows on single stems. Too much shade/water may make it grow spindly. Suggestion, relocate to a sunny spot if in a shady area and make sure the soil promotes good drainage.

Orlando Florida Zone 9 ??Q.Knockout rose tree
Why do leaves turn yellow and then fall off? I have several rose trees. After being planted and healthy for two month or more, on some of them the leaves start turning yellow and eventually fall off. Some of them I pruned and after several weeks when I think they are dead, red leaves start coming on. Also, other trees are very healthy looking and green but do not produce roses. Why?

August 26, 2015Q.Knockout roses
My knockout roses initially bloom beautifully. But that is it. They do not have repeat blooms. The plants are very healthly and about 4 ft high and they get plenty of sunshine. In fact, they get total afternoon sun. What can I do to get them to bloom? I also fertilize with a rose fertilizer, several times.

August 29, 2015A.Not all roses bloom throughout the summer. Check on the habit of your variety. Pruning may also help

Ashtabula, Ohio northeast ohioQ.canes on my knockout roses are black
The canes on my knockout roses are black. The leaves have dried and are falling and the bush appears dead. This has happened over about a week, also has affected the mums planted nearby. Any help?

September 3, 2015A.It sure sounds like either something got poured on the soils around the bushes and plants or they got sprayed with an herbicide spray somehow. Could also be neighborhood dogs or coyotes relieving themselves on them. You may want to check on them in the evenings with a flashlight to see what might be out there animal wise. Or see if anyone was spraying anything in the area, working on vehicles and tossing solvents or fuel without regard to where they disposed of the products.

September 14, 2015A.Knockouts do great in containers. Just make sure you use Potting Soil designed to be used for containers. And a slow release fertilizer.
