Does this rose like to be a certain size before blooming? I bought this last year from HCR and while it has grown some, it hasn't bloomed yet. I expect it to put some size on this year, but was just wondering if anyone else experienced this.
I haven't cut it at all. It came in as a band last year. Just waiting on blooms..just wondered if it waited until it got bigger before giving any. I didnt get any blooms this Spring. Usually one year old plants give me something, so still wondering what's up with mine.
How is it doing for you now? I also got it as a band from HCR this year, it took off in late summer and it started blooming even before it took off. So I was surprised to see how different it behaved for you. It was actually unexpected for me how quickly it settled in, we have hot dry summers and most plants (including roses) spend most of the first year adjusting in my experience so far. Maybe I just got lucky with this one, now here's hoping it will tackle the first winter in equally spirited manner.
I saw Lemon Zen in the catalog of High Country Roses that I received in the mail just yesterday. However, it is out of stock on their website https://www.highcountryroses.com/
