I planted 2 bareroot Constance Spry to cover an aarbor along with a trumpet vine in early winter. They got off to a slow start but now completely cover the arbor. I did bend some of the canes over to produce laterals, however for the most part I wove them through the lattice. The problem is no blooms.I fertilized carefully with premixed rose bloom food. Did I not force enough canes over? It is September 12 and it is still growing! The companion trumpet vine did not bloom either. the location is not real sunny but the weather is definitely warm with 50 days over 100F.

'Constance Spry' only flowers once a year in Spring for a few weeks, after that you'll have to wait another whole year for it to bloom again. Perhaps you could replace this rose with say 'New Dawn' rose or 'Eden Rose' that bloom all year , given dead-heading (except in Winter), and put your Constance Spry plants somewhere else in the garden.

They were probably not large enough to bloom this year, but will give you gorgeous blooms next spring! They only bloom in the spring, so don't prune it untill after it blooms. Post a photo when it blooms!
