Is my bare root rose dead?Updated 2 months ago

Trim down the canes of your rose until you see green growth in the center of the canes. If there is still green in the middle of the cane then the rose isn't dead and just needs time and some TLC to rejuvenate. 

Whether you’re brand new to growing bare roots or a seasoned vet, sometimes bare root roses just don’t perform as we hoped they would. They are living things and some just don't make it even when we do all the things right. Albeit disappointing, there’s always next year! Try not to get discouraged, take good notes and make a plan for next season.
