Right, don't fertilize until they have recovered and have put out plenty of leaves. Bloom Buster is the wrong kind of fertilizer--regular Miracle Gro or Miracle Gro for Roses is fine, or any reasonably balanced fertilizer such as 10-10-10 or 18-6-12. Watering correctly is the most important thing. Keep a 2" mulch of leaves or bark around the roses. When the soil under the mulch feels dry-ish, water thoroughly with 2-3 gallons for small plants or 5 gallons for larger, plus or minus for extremely hot or very mild, cloudy weather. Usually once a week is fine. For new plants, I divide the ration in half and water twice a week.

You made a mistake by cutting them back last fall. In your zone you should not prune your roses in the fall. Wait until spring. The roses store nutrients in the canes and you cut that supply off when you pruned them. That being said, last year was a particularly bad winter and you probably would have lost most of the cane anyway. Nothing you can do about that. We all started out with shorter than normal roses this spring. They'll need time to recuperate and rebuild their structures. Knowing what roses you have will also help us to determine how large and bushy you can expect them to get. Roses can take from 3 to 5 years to fully mature so be patient. As for the puckered leaves we really would need to see a photo of them to be able to diagnose what's going on. Why are you using the Bioneem oil? Do you have a bug infestation? If not then you don't need it. If you do not have a specific insect that you have correctly identified and are using the correct product for that bug, you could be killing off beneficial insects instead. That could set you up for an even worse problem later on. Only use insecticide when you have a bug, know exactly what bug it is and determine the correct insecticide to use for that bug. Not all insecticides work on all bugs. For now I would keep them well watered and fertilize them following the instructions on the fertilizer carefully and be patient.

I would love to have a Black Magic, Ink Spots, or Black Jade rose bush. I am also looking for a Blue Moon rose bush. If anyone out there has any of these please contact me at dragonflygirl99@yahoo.com Thanks Beth

Ingrid, I still have some roses left, but in the main they're not thriving. Kim diagnosed powdery mildew. The ones that are left are starting to look not just sad but out of place. Mme Lombard soldiers on, but I'm not crazy about the colour most of the year. It's rather a harsh pink once it heats up. In Spring she was lovely though. Marie van Houtte is still huge despite me cutting away more than a third, but there's a mass of dead stuff underneath. G Nabonnand is very leggy and dying back constantly but still has beautiful blooms sometimes. I bought Bliss Parfuma 2 or 3 years ago. I had it in a pot and it didn't do well but planted it out a few months ago and it is giving me more pleasure than any other - fat, blush pink, fragrant blooms. I added Mutabilis (lost the previous one), Lady Hillingdon and Rose de Rescht (substituted for Mme Caroline Testout which I really wanted) this year. They look ok so far, but Mrs BR Cant in the same area is dying back severely. I really must pull her out. She had a few sumptuous and fragrant blooms in Spring (without the tan colour), so I've been reluctant. We're really enjoying our new native areas though, so it's not all doom and gloom! As for my health, thanks for your concern. I'm sure I'll be sorted soon! The procedure was very easy. I may need another one but am fine with that.
