Question
why won't my climbing rose bush blossom?, We've had this bush for about 5 years and it has never bloomed. Is there some thing I can do to make it blossom?

Answer
Hi Lisav-

Roses need 3 things to bloom: sun, water and fertilizer.  Does this rose get these things - with at least 6 hours of sun a day?

Also - some climbing roses are duds and don't bloom at all.  I had climbing Queen Elizabeth - and it never bloomed for me or for any other person I asked.

What is the name of the climbing rose?  Once you know the name of it - check the website: www.Everyrose.com, and look under gardener's experiences to see what they have to say about this rose and whether it blooms for them.

Good luck-
