My rose bush is growing well and looks like it is about to bud(red leaves), but no bud ever appears. I did not have this problem last year. This year we have had alot of rain, could that
be the problem?? My other bush is blooming and thriving. What gives?

Where do you live? In some parts of the country, there is a rose pest called midge that attacks new shoots. If midge isn't known in your part of the country (or if your plant didn't come from the part of the country where midge is a problem), it's possible your rose is just waiting for the right timing to blooms. How old is the plant?

I live in Michigan, Detroit area. I have never heard of midge. If that is an insect, my bush doesn't look like it has any bugs. In fact, it is growing quite well. I had to trim it some, because it is the long stem variety, and had some very long stems! (quite wild and with lots of shoots) This bush is about 4-5 years old and up until now, has bloomed very well. Any help would be appriesiated.
