From what year do shrub and climbing roses planted with bare roots begin to produce large numbers of roses?
My climate is dry subtropical and in my case since I planted them two years ago they have produced few or no roses.

It depends on climate, soil and understock used. Some start immediately, most need 2-3 years, others more than 5. In your climate you might also do better with Tea, Noisette and China roses rather than Hybrid Teas or Old garden Roses, which need a period of cold in winter.

Dear Jedmar

Here in winter it usually reaches around 11 or 12 degrees Celsius on some days. Would that be enough for a cold winter period? Here the climate becomes more humid and colder between mid-November until the end of March, although it usually varies according to the year.

I guess I'll have to wait another year then. I hope to be lucky with Variegata di Bologna as it belongs to the Old Roses, although some nursery websites recommend Bourbon roses for hot climates.

Kind Regards

Alejandro

I believe some roses need temperatures lower than that. I have heard that in Florida temperature drops to minimum 5 degrees in winter and that is not enough for old garden roses to florish. Maybe you could check what other members are growing in Florida. Look at Gardens/List by Location/USA/Regions/Florida.

You might try 'Old Blush' if you can get one. I have a house in Belize which is slightly more southern that the Canary Islands, but also in the temperate zone. 'Old Blush' is quite common here, a former English colony usually labeled "English Rose". It does bloom on and off all year and grows in sand reasonably well.
