The Garden Frog with C Renee on Aug 27, 2014There a few things to consider when any flower fails to bloom-lack of sunlight, improper pruning, soil issues, idisease/pests, or did you just plant them? Can you give more info-1) how long have the plants been in the location; 2) do they get at least 8 hours of sun? 3) did you prune them and when those are questions off the top of head. I will await your replyHelpful Reply

Cjs618 on Aug 27, 2014They get enough & pruning < we planted them this spring full sun. I'm trying Epson salt. I put that on 2 months ago & they we're better. Thank You all for the help!Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Aug 28, 2014I think you definitely need to give them more time to settle in. Epson salt will boost the magnesium in the soil, but it is not a complete fertilizer. Use a good slow-release fertilizer formulated for roses, like Rose Tone.Helpful Reply
