How long will this rose that i got bloom?

I have just bought a rose bush, its falled Fame!, and it says Grandiflora rose on the container. Its unlike one i ever bought, it grows 1 and half meters tall, and it has long stems, which is probably could for cutting. it has big, open pink flowers with about 30-36 petals. I have 3 stems all conected to root , and on the tip of each stem is the flower. I know that most roses bloom all summer (or most of the summer), but will this one? I'm afriad that after the blooms fall off it will just be a green shrub. is that the way it will be? ps, i live in ontario canada, zone 4/5. it might be a hybrid tea rose, It looks similar to this, but they are not identicle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Chrys... . Tx in adance.

Hi, Your Grandiflora should bloom all summer,and bloom for many years if properly cared for. To promote new growth and new buds, after your flowers have bloomed ,trim them off. You cut at a 45% aAngle above a Five Leafed Leaf, that's where the buds form. Feed Rose and flower food in the spring,summer,and fall .In fall cut any dead wood out and branches that cross each other in the middle. Cut about one third back(I sometimes cut mine back to 2/3 or one foot off the bud union) And seal any branches that are bigger than a pencil with white glue or sealing compound. You need to pack yours for winter with straw, or hay. My bushes are now thirty years old and the main branches are bigger than my arms. Maybe that's where they get rosewood? Anyway ,my one Grandiflora has over three dozen flowers on it at all times! It's a big bush and is called Paradise. Bye
Reply:ok they will bloom all year round till frost if you prune them right


ok stop pruning them mid fall and then start again in spring after hard frosts have past.. you prune them like you would any other tea hybrid 3 leaflets down, cut at a 45 degree angle,at an outward facing bud..if the roses grow into themselves it gets poor air circ. and starts chafing..and more prone to diseases..cut the angle away from the leaflet though.


If you prune when the blooms fade, it will prompt the rose to rebloom. Pls feel free to contact me with any more questions you might have.. we love Roses so we are happy to share our knowledge!
