Miniature Roses

Is there hope?

18 years ago

Hi all,

I bought a house in August from a garden guru, I was left with a ton of flowers I know nothing about. But last fall I found online how to winterize the climber. So I followed their directions and the other day I uncovered her.

Well... The stems look dead, there is some green showing at the very base of the stem. Do I need to cut the stem down? Will it come out of the state it is in? Any advice would be great! Thanks so much! I can also get a picture of it if someone needs to see it!

Although I'm not an expert on climbers, I think you need to cut back to where the stems are showing green. It sounds like the stems are dead; otherwise, I think you'd have seen new growth by now.
