I have two rose trees in my front yard, their are no buds on them yet, are they dead?

1 Answer

Answer :

This was a bad winter for roses.  A lot of people lost them.  The only way to know if they are alive is to clean heavy duty clippers with alcohol and start to cut back....as soon as you hit green on the stems stop...........trim the others.  Green means living........still brown is time to dig it out & replace...............next winter mulch around it good..........and take it away when spring time comes.
