Bonjour,
Congratulations for the numerous references concerning this rose I have in my rose garden as 'Pompon des Dames'.
In the first page (Description) it is mentioned that this rose was known before 1791, but I don't see any reference related to this date ?
Best regards,
Daniel

This rose doesn't flower sufficiently in my garden - it is planted three years ago and doesn't produce more than 3 flowers a season. What can I do? Marion

When I looked at the listing it shows this is a once bloomer.
How are you pruning this rose? Old Garden Roses can be picky about how they are pruned. I'd contact your local Rose Society and see if a consulting rosarian would be available to look at the rose with you. They would be able to determine if it is the plant or something you are doing.

You probably already know a rose's performance depends so much on where it is planted and how it is cared for in general. Many roses will spend their first year, even years, developing a good root system before it puts any energy into blooming.

Wendy C's comment about pruning ogrs is right on target. Some roses will only bloom on old wood. If you have removed that wood when you have done your annual prunning, you won't have a rose that will bloom very well. Other roses bloom on both old and new wood. Since I haven't grown this rose, I cannot tell you the best way to prune it. Maybe someone else who has grown the rose can jump in here and give you a definite answer.

Smiles,

it is a centofilia blooms once year early in the season, don`t prune it !
Just remove dead wood and dont rush to do thìs because on the OGR wood may look dead but the tip of the branches is just slower to sprout leaves..
Also the OGR may take 3 years or more to establish themselves. Some plants may need up to 5 years to reach full growth. Give it one more year and spare the pruning.
