I planted some ';Don Juan climbing roses'; probably 9 months ago and the stems, thorns and leaves are beautiful it has doubled in size and climbing like crazy but it hasn't bloomed yet. I have not pruned it at all and it has the best spot in the yard to get plenty of sunlight, water and rest. So it just looks like greenery, pretty greenery with no blooms can someone give me some tips please.My roses will not bloom...?
Rose 'Don Juan' is one of my favorite roses. It's tough, has little problem with black spot and tends to bloom all the time - usually.
For best blooming roses ned at least 6 to 8 hours of sun a day, regular water and fertilizer. Also, they should not be sheared when pruned. Since you said there is plenty of sun, water and they have not be pruned, then it must be something else.
My best guess is in your statement ';the leaves are beautiful it has doubled in size.'; This indicates the possibility of not of sun or too much nitrogen. Leaves and plants stretch in low light, so check your light again.
Most likely you have been very kind applied lots of fertilizer. If you have lots rich, dark green leaves and rapid growth this would indicate lots of nutrients. Unfortunately, some plants are lazy. Growing flowers is hard work, if you have an abundance of nutrients around why do the work of growing flowers? Cut back a bit on the nutrients and you should see a few blooms.
