I think it is a bit early for flowers yet. I would check with your local garden centre. Tell them you are looking for a fertilizer that will promote flowering. It does make a difference as some promote rooting, foliage etc. My garden centre advised that I feed the roses every 10 days until the first of August then stop. That will allow the plant time to slow right down before the frost hits. I know it works because my roses have never looked better before I started the routine.
Reply:I assume you don't know either the type of rosebush or its name. It could be a little early for your area or they could be roses that bloom once a year---you may have pruned off the budwood. Hopefully it is just too early...in that case check the percentages on your fertilizer: a high first number causes lush growth, a high middle number increases blooming. I doubt that you need to water every day in Colorado, at least not until the temperature gets over 95 or so. Roses need one inch of rain a week (more if the temps get really high), so you can cut back on your watering. Good Luck! Lise from Texas
Reply:Mat be to early for bloom yet. When you fertilized you may have used to much nitrogen. Makes for beautiful foul age but does not promote flowers. If your weather was like we have in MT it may have froze them. We hit a couple of days that set the cold record by 19 degrees (actually a little below 0), roses we budding out, now some are forming leaves but a lot are starting with bottom growth and these were shrub roses for zone 2-4
