Re: Rose Help
If u want side shoots of your plant, just like bushy then u need to pinch out (break the stem with thump and forefinger.) or with the help of cutter. Just pinch out or cut the plant main stem from the tip, terminal bud. Few days after side axillary buds will be sprouted. The pinch is done just above the middle of the stem.
Plants naturally put their energy into growing tall stems, pinching terminal buds make the plant bushy.

Re: Rose Help
waslam ...... No its not in shade .It gets direct sunlight for 5-6 hrs each day. I have taken this pic at 6 pm .That's why it seemed so. I have little knowledge of gardening , but have researched alot on roses so far . Rose plants do need lot of water for its better growth . Isn't it ?

Re: Rose Help
I think it is a sucker growing from the root stock. Is it a grafted rose ? If yes, check the grafted union on the root stock it will be a bulging part of the rose stem below. If the the growth is coming from the ground level of the stem then it probably is a sucker, remove it as ti will not flower and will only draw energy from the overall plant.

Re: Rose Help
Yes roses can not tolerate wet feet.Tahir its the desi rose & i think its not a grafted stock.Ok Faiqa please purchase liquid NPK 20,20,20 with trace elements.Spray on the plant on forth nightly bases.plus also apply some old cow manure & DAP granuler into the soil & mix in godi. water after DAP application. Its not the time to feed roses but i dought your bushes are hungry.

Re: Rose Help
Ok Mr. Tahir I m not sure if its grafted rose . I will check it again in day light tomorrow and will post pic from the root point for further clarification. I did used DAP granular two weeks ago . Growth is extremely good but Its not sprouting flowers that's the point I m confused about .

Re: Rose Help
IMHO prune as suggested by smartline256 and give diluted foliar spray of 202020 NPK as suggested by Umar Bhai, side shouts will sprout and carry the flower buds Insha-Allah.
Umar Bhai its really hot these days in Lahore, temperature approaching to 35 C, rotten manure may cause some harm to plant? Apparently plant is looking very healthy.
