Help, can't find info!
Our new house that has 2 rosebushes under the front window. They appear to be some climbing type I think...at least the branches are very long and spindly and it's trying to grab up onto the window screen. They are also *extremely* thorny with lots of tiny and some larger spikes. They did have a few blooms on them last summer when we moved in...they're single flowers, pink edges with white centers.
I've tried to look and find out what kind it is and what to do with it, but I guess not knowing anything about roses at all, I'm not typing in the right query. It's already warming up here (north TX) and the leaves are coming out so I guess it may be too late to do much this year. I did buy some rose food and sprinkled it around.
If you could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated!

There are lots of ways to find information on the HelpMeFind site. You might try using the advanced search feature to identify your rose. (Most rosarians hesitate to identify roses from photos, even excellent photos, because roses grow and look different in various micro-climates.) You can find various posts on how to use the advanced search by doing a search of the archived answers to questions to the Q & A Forum. (Just put "Advanced Search" in the search field and make sure the "Match phrase exactly" radio button is selected. You can also search the Q & A Forum archives for answers to questions on climbers.
Good luck with your roses.
Smiles,
Lyn

Hi,
First, I think you might have more luck if you were to ask a more specific question. Second, this site is loaded with information about growing and caring for roses. Please feel free to explore the "Care" section of the Q&A. Also the Ezine has some very good articles that will be helpful.
If you are looking for help identifying your mystery rose you going to need to take a good close up photo. Even then identification is almost impossible - there are tens of thousands of roses !

Thank you both. I happened to discover that a family member has grown roses and she was able to give me some pointers on pruning them (she said it would still be ok since buds hadn't set). Still not sure what they are, but they look a lot better at least. I will try searching the site again for more information.

Just thought I'd update that whatever they are, they're glossy and green, absolutely loaded with blooms now and just beautiful. I guess I did something right:-) Thanks for this site!
