I have had my Yves Piaget rose for 2 years but it has hardly grown. I have re-potted it and ensured fresh new compost soil with some mature manure, located it to a sunnier spot in the garden and kept it relatively free of pests and disease but it won't grow. It has one stem that branches equally into three directions, each about 8-9ins but never seems to grow further and barely produced flowers last year. Any hints on what I can do to put some spark into it?

Any tips on getting Marie-Henriette to bloom? I bought her this spring as 2nd year sapling and she grew nicely against a fence up three main stems to about 6' / 190cms, giving me a couple of flowers on the middle stem in May but nothing since. I've kept it trimmed of any crossing or thin canes, it has plenty of sun from early morning so would appreciate any ideas. Thank you!

Did you try feeding her with sulfate of potash & gypsum (calcium sulfate)?

Thank you for the advice and apologies to be slow responding. I’m not familiar with chemicals so is there an off the shelf product I can buy that would provide these for the rose?
Thanks again for the tip!

PATENTKALI is an approved organic ,internationaly available source of potasium and magnesium which is also important for roses. Calcium is secondary but impotant too.In many areas of the earth there is plenty enough naturally in the ground.Here(Greece)is such a case but i add some ,once a year when pot growing roses.You must ask local advice.
A DIY potassium containing fertliser is banana peel compost .
Chemical fertilisers are not harmfull at least when used carefully. Chemical pesticides and miticides are poisons for humans and any kind of living creatures.

Is this simply the most productive rose on the planet? It's wonderfully compact - mine hasn't grown 4 feet - yet has added stem after stem, with each dividing and producing a beautiful big bud atop each, over and over and over again. From May to time of writing (September) there have only been 2-3 weeks when it has not been in flower. And the big white blooms are wonderfully formed, beautifully fragrant and pull-in the bees from the outset, even more so once the flower really opens. They last on the stem, even in the intense heat of summer where I am, and are not bothered either by the intense sunlight. A very strong plant, a real producer and beautiful on top of it all. It is my all-around favourite.

This is a beautiful, vigorous rose with wonderfully formed flowers that last on the plant and continue to produce a lovely strong scent. It produces flushes of blooms continually with a gap of about 3-4 weeks between them. Mine has grown from a seedling to about 4 ft in height (125cms) and would like to bush out a bit (but I'm not letting it due to space concerns), and has a lovely bright green foilage. It has won a place in my heart and I highly recommend it.
