Re: how long to rose blooms last?

are you pruning properly? you want to cut just above a branch of  five
leaves
some only have three or two. you should get continues blooms if you proon
properly. the flower does not last all that long. i have 1 long stem rose
bush.the flower on that one lasts longer that any of the others. i have
about
10 rose bushes some of the flowers last longer than others. proper pruning
will give you more blooms. they may last longer as the bush
matures.miracle
grow makes a formula just for roses i believe it helped my newly planted
bushes really take off. also water at the base not the whole plant. they
do
not like their leave getting wet.
