My little girl was dying after her first season after being adopted from a local super market. Now she came back to life - stronger than ever!

The only issue is, she is no longer "little" and she's not letting out any flowers. I'm pretty sure you are supposed to trim and cut roses, but I'm not sure how.

Could anyone help us out?

Your rose needs a few things: A repot into a bigger pot, and rich, loamy soil. Bonemeal to restore phosphorus (that's likely why it's no longer flowering) Slow release rose fertilizer (can be found at gardening stores)

As for trimming, prune off unproductive or bare branches, and cut off dying flowers. I don't judiciously prune my roses.
