Why does my climbing rose Bridge of Sighs grown in tub loses its flowers after 2 days?

Answer by  daylahmnas (129)

Climbing roses like to have as much root-room as the branches have air-room. There is simply not enough nutrition in a pot, tub or container to sustain blooms on a climbng rose. Ty fetilizing weekly and proviin some iron by dropping a nail into a watering can and letting it sit for a few days.

It loses flowers if its lacking nutrients. You should be using the best of the best horticultural soils for these plants because it doesn't take long for the tub of flowers to lose its branches and flowers. You should use a horticultural spray as that well help keep them fresh and clean.

Well, perhaps you are not watering it enough. It also needs nutrient rich soil and needs to be cultivated often.

It may be root bound and if that is the case then you need to find something larger to put it in so the roots can stretch out and the plant will be much healthier and you won't keep losing your blooms.

Flowers are lost because of lack of sunlight. There is only a small window in the bathroom and no sunlight from the window directly shines into the tub where the climbing rose grows. All plants, roses included, need sunlight, chlorophyll, and water to complete the process of photosynthesis. In this case lack of sunlight is the reason for death.

There is a good possibility that it is root bound and it need to be transplanted into a bigger tub. Check with your local Nursery and see what they say they would know better than anyone.

A climbing rose needs a lot of area for its roots to grow. Putting it in a tub means its not getting the nutrients it needs. You should plant it in the grown so it will have room to spread out. You should make sure and use miracle grow or something like that to help the plant along.
