Hawaiian Wood Rose

15 years ago

I have had a wood rose vine in my garden for about 9 years. I am about 1 mile from the beach. I have had it in shade, sun and partial sun but it has never bloomed. Any suggestions to get blooms???

Thank you

Dear Grandmere,

Thank you very much for your inquiry. The following is from my Garden Nurse, Susan Gruber. The information here is minimal.

The wood rose is most likely to flower if placed in full sun. Provide plenty of water, but do not use fertilizer which is high in nitrogen. A soil test for potassium and phosphorus my be helpful - flower bud formation may not occur if these nutrients are lacking.

Again, thanks for the question and let me know if you have more.

Respectfully
