I meant in full sun.

I see nothing burnt about your rose. It looks amazingly healthy for a plant moved in mid summer in full growth.

What burning? Are you talking about the very thin margin of red along the leaf edges or the fading flowers? The red margin is just the coloring of the leaves and new growth is typically reddish or bronzey , and fading flowers are...well...fading flowers. Roses do best in full sun. Leave yours where it is, make sure it gets adequate water, and enjoy it!

This is what heat scorch/leaf burning looks like on roses:

This browning on the petals edges

^^ That is nothing to worry about.

Unless you live in the desert or an area that routinely gets summer temps of 100F+, there is no such thing as "too much sun" for roses.

That is either from too much rain when the buds were developing, or more likely from thrips.

Imo, it's more likely just an elderly flower which was a bit stressed by the move. It’ll be time to dead head it soon anyway.

Summer Romance has a tendency to get to be a huge bush, growing long arching canes.

My concern for you is that in no time your SR will be encroaching upon its neighbors in your garden. You may consider growing it as a climber, training its soon to come long canes upward onto the fence behind it. This way, it will not grow into its neighbors, but grow behind and above them on the fence.

The root competition between Summer Romance and its neighbors could be mitigated by additional fertilizer given to SM and its immediate neighbors.

Thank you so much for all of your responses. Moses what kind of fertilizer ? I been looking at fish fertilizer? And can I use it now since I just planted it a couple weeks ago

Miracle Gro for Roses, liquid fed every two weeks is fail proof, but never liquid feed a dehydrated rose bush. Do not exceed 1 Tbl./gallon of water. Plain water a bush first, then liquid feed immediately thereafter, or coordinate a feeding after a satisfactory natural rain. Do not liquid feed in full sun when temps are 80°F or above without immediately after liquid feeding (fed from a bucket, watering can, or hose end applicator), gently rinsing off the foliage of any fertilizer that got on it.

Alternately, an every 3 month granular application of Shake n' Feed for Roses and Flowers, can be started. It's less work, but slower to intitally see results since it takes a bit of time for the granules to kick in. Plus, this method is more effective for older bushes which have a more extensive network of roots in the soil all around the bush, that make access to the fertilizer quicker.

Liquid fish or seaweed feeding is very good. It is the 'Rolls Royce,' of feeding, but it's a bit pricey.

"Liquid fish or seaweed feeding is very good."

Unless you have cats that roam. Ask me how I know.... :0(

Beautiful picture Daniella! How short do you prune Yours in the spring? Do you cut it back much after it's 1st flush?

That is one beautiful rose, Daniella! I wish my roses were half that nice.

Dianela - my heavens!!! What a fabulous rose bush!!! :) :)

Thank you for responses guys.

Thank you Vapor, mxk3 and Carol.

I have not pruned my summer romance in a couple of years. It has stayed at 5 1/2 or so in height. I think some pruning after the initial flush would help with rebloom but I haven’t tried it. I did prune it hard (to 3 feet) several times the first two or three years (it should be like 5 now I think) the first few years it had a funky shape, but now it has settled into a bushy more even plant. It has the most spectacular large fragrant blooms

Dianela - happy sigh.... :) :)

the flowers of roses are etheral and ephemeral ... especially ephemeral

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=ephemeral+define&t=ffcm&ia=definition

in fall.. when temps are barely in the 50s.. a flower.. any kind.. can last a week or two .. or maybe even more... no heat stress.. no water stress... etc ..

but in july in most of the US... when temps can hover in the 80s.. 90s.. or higher... and especially in heat or drought stress.. flowers might last only a day or two ...

and ti is usually a water issue ... not enough water in the heat of the day harming the ephemeral flower tissue.. and there is nothing you can do about it but water properly ..

and fertilizer is surely not an issue at all ... roses need a lot of fert.. but the lack or excess of such.. does not cause a flower petal issue ...

one of the reasons..most rose growers end up with hundreds of plants ... is so that if one plant ends up stressed.. for whatever reason.. you got 99 others that are in the process of blooming.. so.. most likely.. your base issue it.. lol.. you need 99 more roses.. and you wouoldnt be worried about this ONE.. lol..
