Please note; if your 'New Dawn' does not repeat bloom you are probably not pruning it in the right way.

New buds occur immediately behind the old ones. Cut it back too far and no more flowers. I remove deadwood only after it leafs out.

When it first leafs out it has some leaf yellowing. This is completely natural in a disease resistant rose. If you spray to prevent black spot it often retards the disease prevention process. Its almost as though when it becomes infected it produces something akin to antibodies that gradually fights off the blackspot. Interupt the process to much and you can make it less resistant to disease.

When its stressed through root damage, a lack of regular moisture or to much water it may still become susceptible. Give it good sun, irrigation, drainage and food and the leaves will be 98% disease free unless it has been physicly damaged somehow.

Hello, I've read your discussion regarding the non blooming of the New Dawn Rose. The first two years it bloomed prolifically and then in it's third season was cut back in the way you said not to. If I just cut the deadwood this spring ( we're in Zone 5- Chicago ) is there any chance of it blooming again? You've got a great website by the way.

Thanks,

Janice. As it produces new growth train it sideways so that side branches are produced that grow upward. Train those sideways as well (to at least 45 degrees). Only cut off deadwood in late spring. Clean up the area so that no insects will find material for housing. Watch for borers (drilled holes in stem) and if you find them insert a paperclip to mash them in their tunnels (I leave the paper clip in the tunnel and clip it off flush). I spray with insecticidal soap fairly often to control white fly and aphids. I fertilize with dehydrated manure (not fresh as it usually imports weed seeds and insects that are unknown into the garden.

As long as borers haven't been left undiscovered (a borer can drill down to the root within a couple years and kill the plant, they usually enter through pruning scars so prune as little as possible, I have been known to insert a shiny thumbtack where a branch has been cut off but this isn't always useful or possible.

My hand measured across the 4 fingers is 3.5 inches.
