So last year I planted a hybrid rose plant called a Pretty Lady. After some shocking treatment - being transplanted twice. It really struggled during the summer. And I was concerned that it froze over the winter. But this year, all I see are leaves and stems, no buds to indicate that I should see flowers.
Isn't that an indication of "sucker" stems? Where they don't produce but just grow. And the plant is truly done?
I don't really want to loose this plant as it was a gift, and given to me because we lost our dog. And it's a memory plant for her.
At first I was excited to see the growth....but looking at my neighbors rose bushes and these are well established roses, they have buds and are starting to bloom.
Any advise? Please.
