Why don’t buds form?
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to observe lush flowering. Although this does not happen often, gardeners should be aware of the reasons. Rare flowers or their complete absence on the Amadeus climbing rose may be due to:

- with incorrect or untimely pruning;
- with the need to transplant rose bushes.
On what shoots does the rose Amadeus bloom?
As already noted, improper pruning of a climbing rose can lead to rare flowering or even to its absence. That is why it is important to know which shoots to leave.
