Rose Bush Stopped Blooming After Severe Pruning by Condo Corp

Recovery Timeline for Hard-Pruned Mature Rose

Large, floriferous rose bush cut down by condo management 3 years ago. Regrew to 6-foot canes but zero blooms for 2 summers. Gets mid-day sun.

Severe cutting forces rose to replace lost structure. All energy → cane/leaf growth. Zero left for flowering. This is normal for 2-3 years.

High potassium for flowering, balanced for recovery. Same principle as rose bloom boosters.
