We transplanted this rosebush from John's folks' house before it was turned over to the buyer. It did not tolerate the shock of the transplant and all the leaves died. It was about 6 feet tall and had red roses. So, when I got back from Colorado, inspite of having used new soil and rose food, it was on its last leg. There were only a couple of canes that still had some green. So I pruned it back and cut off the dead canes. Look at the new growth now. Can't wait til next year, or maybe even this fall, for roses. It'll be a wonderful tribute to John's parents and a beautiful remembrance.
