I had a very nice tea rose that my daughter had given me and it died off. I
dug it up and now after several years has come back from the root. I know
that it is not the original but it has been growing for about 3 years with
no blooms. Will it ever bloom and should I let it grow or dig it again. It
is a lovely bush and very nice size but just no blooms. I also had a Blaze
climber that died off and has come back from the dead some years later from
the root and I haven't had any blooms on it either. I live in MN so was
just wondering if I should dig them up again.

Hi Sharon,

The rose you have is probably Dr. Huey or Rosa Multiflora. Both of
these roses are roses that bloom on last years growth.

Since you live in Minnesota and these roses are probably dying back in
the winter, all you are getting is the new year's growth with no
blooms.

Definitely dig them up throw them away and plant something new. Check
out the Canadian Explorer and Parkland roses. These are varieities
that are specifically hybridized to be winter hardy in cold climates.

Just Google 'Canadian Explorer roses' or 'Parkland roses' or 'Buck
roses'.

Have a good one,

Bob Bauer
