Lady Banks Rose Heavily Pruned: Recovery Protocol

14-year-old Lady Banks rose cut to 3ft main stem by aunt in May (SC). No signs of life. Hope for recovery?

Hope + Active Treatment

• Spray trunk with nutrients (absorbs through bark)
• Weekly for 2 months: liquid seaweed + beneficial bacteria + rock dust (1 tbsp/gal) + Superseaweed (1 oz/gal)
• Biweekly: organic rose fertilizer
• Normal watering
• After 2 months: check for life; if none, wait another month
• Final test: scrape bark - green underneath = alive

Keep aunt away from roses!
