2nd season rose rose bush
Posted: Thu Apr 18, 2013 6:21 pm
Hi!
I bought a rose bush last year, it grew a few roses off the three stems, but in the middle of the summer they died (everyone's in the town did, apparently we had a bug issue!! We are in Winthrop, its in the Boston, MA area) but this year there is nothing on there but thorns.. is it too early or do I need to do something else? I gave the bush fresh soil (miracle grow) and rose food, but still nothing. A few days after all the rain stopped last week I noticed the ground was a bit dry so I watered it with plant food and I have been watching the soil to make sure it doesn't dry out, but the bush itself is still unchanged...
What am I doing wrong? I'm very new to this...
Thanks
