Climbing Rose Buds Not Opening After Cold Snap

The April freeze likely killed the flower buds. Some varieties are more cold-sensitive.

Confirm It's Not Insects

• Tap buds over white paper – look for tiny black insects (midges).
• Dissect a few buds – check for tiny fly larvae at base.

If Cold Damage

No treatment needed. The plant will rebloom in ~3 weeks on new growth. Other roses in same area may be hardier or at different bud stage.
