Im out of my depth here on this 1 haha

I bought a lot of trees and stuff for the garden lots of different names to them , To be honest i dident look at the names except the rose plant/tree .
All have been in the dirt now over a month and no changes
Does it take a full sesson before she grows and flowers ,all my others are growing like eden, except this rose twig and a ferren tree (i think)
Any 1 got any tips is bat gauno any good

Trees need a large hole and lots of water when you plant them. The first week it is important water lots. You may or will notice the leaves dropping. It is stressed out. Lots of water and in the spring you will see if it survived. Good luck.

Roses tend to fall under the "sleep, creep, leap" rule. The first year it's planted it "sleeps" and doesn't grow much. The second year you will see small "creeping" growth. Year three is when it "leaps" and starts to grow rapidly. Actually a surprising number of plants do that.

Now I'm curious, is it one of those roses on a tree trunk (grafted) or is it a tree rose of sharon? Those are completely different things. Could you maybe post a pic?

If it's an actual rose, planting chives near it will help prevent blackspot.
