I have an unusual rose half apears to be a yellow/red rose and the other a red rose... problem is the red half doesn't seem to want to bloom now it just grows and grows and grows. I cut the branches back but nothing except more branches... they have been fertalized and my other roses bloom well it's odd. I have noticed taht when it bloom the branch has light grrn new leaf but no buds on a branch with red new leaf growth. I should tell you some of these braches ahve grown toover 8 feet long before I cut them in hopes they would bloom... any ideas???? thanks!

Do a search for Dr. Huey and see if this is the 'red half' of your rose bush.

The long arching canes you describe make me wonder if the rootstock of the red/yellow has suckered and is growing too. Dr Huey is a once blooming Spring rose which is extensively used as rootstock for grafted commercially available roses.
