Rose bush help
Hello, one half of the rose bush seems to be doing well but half has no growth. I don't think the pruning was too vigorous! Any ideas much appreciated. Do I ignore this, take half of the stump out or try something else? Thanks very much

Have you fed it? Kept it moist? How long has it been in that pot?
id say prune the whole plant by a minimum of 50% or more. It also looks like it could do with be planted a bit lower, excavate the hole add some new compost, remove competing plants, try and cover the soil over the top of the crown of where all the stems start.
i agree also that hole is too small for a rose long term so maybe consider moving the rose completely.
