| Hello all rose lovers - I know you will have wonderful answers to this.
When roses have been pruned or deadhead, how long will it take before it blooms again? A wonderful rose lover friend(like all of us here) ask me this question recently and I am clueless because I have so many roses in my garden that some thing is always blooming. So I never notice the time frame. My friend pruned her roses after the flush and now there are new reddish growth. She was wondering if she can expect any blooms from her roses by June 2. She lives in Placentia/Yorba Linda, which is located in Orange County. Thanks a bunch. Kasie |

| I pruned one of mine hard because of blackspot at the end of April, and the bush is full of new red leaves, along with buds, which will open shortly. It has been less than a month, so hers may come back even sooner. I'm sure the weather is a factor, too. I'm a bit southwest of your friend, so it's a little cooler and damper here (hence the blackspot). |

| The usual rule of thumb is 42 days. Of course, it depends on the rose. Some roses repeat faster and others repeat slower, but this can give you a time frame. Smiles, |

| Depends entirely upon which rose and where and how it's grown. About the fastest for the show circuits locally is Betty Boop at about 36 days at the height of the season. Huge flowers, very heavily petalled flowers and those which demand long cane growth before repeating will take appropriately longer. Cooler and drier climates and weather will slow it further as will less fertilizer and worse disease issues. The flowers won't form unless there are enough leaves to create them. From research done with florist greenhouse roses in the 1970s and partially funded by the ARS, it was determined that on average, it required 35 perfect leaves to make one perfect bloom. More for larger, fuller flowers, less for smaller, lighter flowers. Kim |

| Thank you so very much for the great info lgteacher, Lynn and Kim. I will surely pass along this information to my friend. Kim - in another thread you had given the most valuable information on grafting that I actually didn't mind seeing the indestructible Dr. Huey growing where I had removed 11 rose bushes. Kasie |

| In Georgia, about 6 weeks. |

| It may depend on the rose variety and the conditions, but in my recent experience, it took about a month. I have a potted Sheila's Rose that I had not prune in at least a year. The new growth from late winter was weak and stunted. It hadn't produced any flowers since last year and that's just pitiful considering newer hybrid roses are rarely out of bloom here in So. Calif. So I gave it a pruning (to root them via the burrito method). It was severely pruned in late April and now has a lot of very lush new growth with many buds. This one opened earlier this week. |
