How to jump start a rose...
+29
I gave rose (Cecile Brunner) to a friend and it's not growing as it should. I have two to these ramblers in my yard and it's all I can do to contain them, so I'm at a lost to know why hers is not doing much. Any suggestions?

Depends on how it's not growing right.

It is a rambling rose and should be putting on long canes and it's not. It is alive, but it's just not taking off the way it should.

Hi Grace, I can't believe you are in Burleson because the rose I'm talking about has been planted in Alvarado. When you say tea, do you mean any kind of tea?

Roses need a least 3 years to become established, That may be your problem. It's a gorgeous color. Cecile Brunner is a climber and your friend will need to provide adequate support for those long canes. Just feed it regularly and water deeply, it should do just fine.

My rose didn't do very well until this year. I added coffee grounds, Epson salt. my roses were beautiful this year. This might help.

I'm in Ohio and was wondering if this rose will grow in our climate and also Arizona? I'm new to growing roses. Also does a regular rosé also take 3 years to really start blooming?

No they will bloom right away, but after about 3 years they hit their stride and bloom more abundantly. Cheryl I buy a lot of my old roses like this one from the Antique Rose Emporium in Brenham, Texas. If you'll got to their website you'll find info about all the roses they ship and it will tell you what zones they do best in. Good luck with growing roses and have a blessed day. Natalie

This looks larger than my Cecile Bruner, which is tiny, known as a sweetheart rose. I have a(2) huge bushes, a large climber and one I rooted. Is this the true color of yours? Mine is very delicate baby pink.

Oh, my, I just realized that I grabbed the wrong photo. This is Perle D'Or. It does look bigger than it is because I zoomed in so close. But you are right, the Cecile Bruner is a baby pink.

A Friend no longer wanted a rose in her yard she gave it to me, I put epsom salts in a deep hole and it thrived, it also gave me nice big blooms in no time...

Thanks, she may have to dig it up and move it and I will suggest putting epsom salt in the hole first. Blessings, Natalie

If your friend's rose has stumpy, spindly canes, you can encourage it to produce new more vigorous ones next spring by sprinkling Epsom Salts around the base of the bush in early spring and scratching it into the soil. And some fertilizer wouldn't hurt either. I have 2 of this variety--one is a monster and one's barely limping along, so I've put a note to myself in the shed to try the Epsom Salt fix on the slow-starter next season. This has done wonders for rejuvenating my bush roses, BTW. Good luck!
