black boy climber

20 years ago

I have 3mtx3mt trellis freestanding outside my ensuite bathroom window.

I bought a black boy climbing rose as a bagged rose in winter. The rose is absolutely covered the trellis widthways and height ways, unbelievably vigorous growth.

HOWEVER! not a single bud or flower.

Is this unusual for a rose bought as a dormant bare root not to have had a single bud.

Also, do I now cut the canes that have grown above the height of this huge trellis? The rose seems possesed.
