Question
I planted my rose bush last year and it was very prolific.  This year I have plenty of leaves but no roses yet.  I live in Zone 5.  It gets plenty of all day sun from the south.  Will I get any roses on it??? I've planted many crimson glory bushes and never had a problem.  Any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Answer
Lots of leaves is a good sign that the rose is healthy and should flower later on. In your zone what sometimes happens, is that the flower buds get nipped by a cold frost just as they are developing. So what will happen is that instead of flowering at the normal time they will have to make more flower buds which takes two to three weeks and this will push the flowering ahead to that time too.
