I've been taking care of my rose bush for half a year, but it still hasn't sprouted any suckers. What's going on?
Flower enthusiasts who have cared for roses know the importance of rose suckers, which are a crucial condition for rose rejuvenation and plant renewal.
When it comes to the issue of roses sprouting suckers, we first need to understand what rose suckers are and the conditions for roses to sprout suckers.
What are rose suckers?
Often mentioned, some新手 (novice) flower enthusiasts may not understand what suckers refer to.

Climbing roses may sprout very strong branches near the lower part after the original suckers grow horizontally, and their growth is similar to that of suckers near the base. These can also be treated simply as rose suckers (this situation is less common in shrubs).
What conditions are needed for roses to sprout suckers?
Rose suckers are very important for rose rejuvenation, but it takes conditions for roses to sprout suckers; they don't just sprout suckers randomly.
According to the normal growth pattern of roses, the buds at the top of the branches sprout first, and the buds below and in the middle generally do not sprout easily.
So, for roses to sprout new buds from the base (near the roots), they first need sufficient fertilization and watering (G-Y).
This is easy to understand; only with more food can they grow stronger. If the plant lacks fertilizer and water, it barely has enough to maintain basic life activities, let alone having extra nutrients to develop growth potential.
