It's such a great year for roses!

Mine have never been so lush and fragrant. So happy!

How are your roses doing?

I'm sorry about your failing marriage, George.

Yes! I thought the fertilizer was the reason but maybe it's the weather? They are bountiful!

Yes they’re doing great. I have 12 bushes of knockout roses.

I have knockouts and every year I seem to get one big/nice bloom but after that pretty much nothing. I see the new buds but they never seem to keep flowering, any idea what I'm doing wrong here?

And yeah right now they're going off. Azaleas bushes, crepe myrtles and pansies all had a nice spring too, it was pretty cool to see.

Deadhead them. They will continue to bloom off and on throughout the season. It just won't be the big flush that you get in spring.

I’m not sure. Mine kept blooming into the winter last year. I had them pruned low in December.

Two of my David Austin rose shrubs (both in their 3rd or maybe 4th year) are doing amazing. I think the weather is a big part of it. Plus I fertilized with Rose Tone and knocked off most of the aphids.

The others aren’t performing so well just yet — some planted as bare root or transplanted last year. I can’t figure out what’s going on with one though — in its third year, looks otherwise healthy, but no buds! Wondering if it’s the soil where it’s planted.

Is this a comedy skit?

Have you tried deadheading and applying Rose Tone or other rose fertilizer?

Mine look good too. Planted a Blaze climber from bareroot last summer and now it's 7' foot high w/ dozens of blooms. (It also turned out much more pink than the red I had expected, but that is a different issue).

I'm not sure the weather has been all that great though--one of my shrub roses has now complete succumbed to powdery mildew and I had attributed that to how wet the early spring was...

Mine are crazy happy this year too. I didn’t fertilize them or anything.

I’ve been following a lot of rose drama over badly behaving vendors these past few months but this has been a great year for the actual flowers.

That sounds like some dahlia shit.
