How to keep Roses alive longer
Hi. I live in So. CA, if that matters. I have a few rose bushes in the front yard that I planted almost a year ago. They bloom pretty roses, but it seems like they die so quickly, maybe within a week? Is that typical? If not, any recs on how to keep them alive longer?
Thank you!!
Re: How to keep Roses alive longer
Most flowers do only survive for a couple days; many people who didn't grow up around gardening don't understand this. In addition to individual blooms only lasting a few days, many plants are not remontant (repeat bloomers). You have to specifically buy varieties of roses that rebloom because not all do; typically, old-fashioned roses or generic ones just bloom for a week or two and then they're done for the year. Yep, that makes them pretty worthless in a garden unless they have truly fantastic blooms or fragrance.
If you want to replace your current plants, try Flower Carpet roses. It was 100 degrees here for 3 months AND we're in a drought and there've been a dozen blooms on each shrub all summer long. Here because our weather's so mild, I expect them to bloom 10 months of the year.

I have some rose bushes and while the blooms only last a week, I cut the dead roses off at an angle to the first set of leaves that has 5 leaves then the buds will grow and bloom again. I kept this up all summer and I still have blooms coming in.
Good Luck!
