| Hello Everyone,
Im new to the Gardening Forem and I am very excited to get to know everyone and learn so much about gardening... I have ALWAYS DREAMED of having a yard (front & back) just flowing all over with all types of flowers. I recently moved into a very large house that is just SCREAMING out for a flower garden. My dad decides he will get me started and orders me (mail order) two (bare root)CL NEW DAWN CLIMBING ROSES and I am afraid that I may have planted them into their pots too late!!! They dont seem to have taken on or rooted? However you want to say it, they're now catching on! They get plenty of evening sunshine and I keep them watered like every other 2nd day. They also have plenty of drainage. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME OUT HERE???? I hope I didnt kill them. They are very beautiful roses and they will look wonderful climbing up the pillers of my porch. THANK YOU.... |

| Please explain what you mean by "waited too long to plant them in their pots". Were they REAL bare roots where they were just plants with nothing around their roots, or in plastic "body bags" bare roots where the chopped off roots were in saw dust inside plastic bags? How long did you have them before you planted them? How were they stored until planting? How dried out did they appear? How hot/dry/windy is it where you are? I suspect from the little information you've provided, they are likely drying up and would greatly benefit from being mounded, collared, hilled, as described in the linked thread below. Until they grow new roots to feed and water themselves, if their canes are drying out, it doesn't matter how many times nor at what frequency you wanter them. They aren't taking in enough water to replace what they're losing. Kim |

| when did you plant them? Are the canes still green? Don't panic. Bareroots can take a long time to break dormancy, but at Kim notes, the canes need to be kept moist. Another thought is that your plant is growing roots, and will start growing leaves soon. |
