I’ve been getting the garden ready for spring, so far its been rather depressing staring at pruned sticks with buds just activating.

All of my bushes have grown since last season except for Carding Mill. I just cant figure this rose out. I moved it last year to the front yard in hopes that more sun would coax it to grow and flower more. I will try to feed it more this year in case thats the problem.

But my two plants which are several years old are really just a few sticks.

Does anyone have this variety in their garden? Are there any tips and tricks for beefing up this variety?

Thank you! Posting pics from last year for interest.
