Double flowering
« on: 11 August 2017, 20:18:47 »
About 3yrs ago I bought a rose for the garden,I don't know what the name of it is but it fulfilled the only essential I had for buying one in that it was a white rose.As it turns out the blooms are only about the size of a 10p piece.Anyway the first year it only had 5 flowers on it,which I put down to it getting established.Last year it had 15 flowers,but these didn't appear until late October!This year[two or three months ago]it again got 15 flowers and when they died off I figured that was it for this years crop,however there are now a further 19 buds,some of which are already beginning to flower with the rest looking pretty healthy and good to go.Is this double crop a fairly normal occurrence? I don't recall having seen this happen before.

If you dead-head then I believe it can be quite common.. I've already had two lots of flowers on both rose bushes in the back garden.

If you keep dead heading them new buds will come on. This is true of a lot of summer flowering plants. How do i know this? :-\. Because SWMBO told me. ;D

I dead head mine by pruning back to just above first "five leaves".you can go back further if that point will result in new growth going in an unsuitable direction.

Quite a few years back we had a neighbour that hard pruned his roses by wielding a chainsaw. Despit leaving loads of ripped cuts, they did well.

Roses have been a joy here as no mildew problems
