Should I Give Up on My Enchanted Evening?
Comments (3)There could be a lot of different reasons why your EE isn't thriving. It may have been an unhealthy or weak plant to begin with or it may just not be happy where it is. Or it may not be a rose that is good for your area at all by being too winter tender or by being very susceptible to the particular disease strains where you live. You could try moving it to a different spot or potting it up to see if it improves but chances are it will never really get much better. I've found that usually by the time they've dwindled down to one cane wonders they never really bounce back. If possible, I'd find a rose garden somewhere near you and visit that and see which roses are growing well that you like. Or find a rose society near you where you can talk to people who grow a lot of roses in the same conditions you do. Look for roses that do well in your area and you'll probably be much happier with them....See MoreShould I just give up?
Comments (10)hi tulips, i wanted to give you some words of encouragement, because once you get over this hurdle you will be so in love with how hardy this vine is and how much it will give in terms of sheer profusion of flowers. when i buy these small plants from the big box stores, i usually kill 50% or more of them, i think last year alone, 4 or 5 of them didn't make it - or so i think, i won't know for sure until summer or even next year. some of them can stay dormant for a year or more before resprouting. why not wait and see? also, with really small clematis plants, i've heard it is best to keep it potted and nursed for a full year (1 summer's worth of growing + overwintering in your garage for the first winter) before planting it out. be sure to make sure there is ample water and that it gets some relief from the sun when young, esp. if you have it in a pot. hope this helps. since i "discovered" them 3 years ago, i've become totally in love with my clematis vines and have over 15 in my yard. i hope you overcome this hurdle to enjoy yours as well.

Comments (12)Some roses get fungal disease because they are not getting enough water. The roots of your rose were root bound, and then just got cut, so it needs to grow new roots. Meantime, you can help it by making sure to keep it watered more than usual. This may help the fungal disease in time, once the rose is has enough roots and is growing. If not, you can always spray for the fungal disease, but I would NOT do that now, because the rose is trying to recuperate. WAIT! Patience is a virtue.

Comments (6)Well for one thing, they're too crowded. Snip out the excess. If they were mine, I'd not throw them out because they are planted and they may surprise us all. If you want to start "over" I suggest you do so in a different pot if it's still an appropriate time for you to plant in your region.....See Morepink rose(9b, FL )
