ive given it rose food and keep the soil clean and fresh and watered ive taken as much care as i can but dont understand why it blooms those ball looking dried up buds and no flowers..there are hundreds of those and only some good flowers. new branches spring up from the base of the bush and do produce flowers help!
*** roses produce round looking balls (buds) but wont bloom *?
Description appears to be that the older branches are bearing buds which fail to open and the remedy is to cut this old wood down to the lowest outward facing shoot each spring.
Hybrid tea roses bear the best blooms on new growth,by pruning as described you should get results!
Reply:Two thoughts: temperature or thrips.
Temp may not be correct for the type rose you are trying to grow. English Teas can be real picky. Some need warmth to open, others resent heat, some resent wet weather.
The way to test for thrips is to take the ball, break it apart over white paper and shake. If the dust particles that fall scamper about, you have thrips. Orthene spray just on the developing buds, not the whole plant is sufficient.
So remove the dried buds and dispose immediately, no composting them. If it's weather, well wait for warmer weather to see if that helps.....or cooler weather....or drier weather...
