How long does it take for rose Bushes to grow?

My mom and I just bought Climbing Rose and Tea Rose bushes, how long will it take to grow?

How long does it take for rose Bushes to grow?
Climbers grow rapidly and can reach 8' in one season. As for the tea rose you will see growth by the end of the season but it will take around 3 seasons to reach mature height. However, even though tea roses grow slower, you will be able to enjoy the blooms before they reach mature height. One way to encourage good growth and lots of blooms is to prepare you site well. Dig a hole that is about 24"X24". Throw out bottom soil and save the top soil. Put a layer of manure in the bottom of the hole and layer some top soil mixed with some peat and bone meal. Make sure the top of the container soil is a little above ground level and water at lease every other day for the next two weeks and then once a week after that. Be sure to water early in the morning and only at the root ball because roses hate water and can suffer from mildew or mold if the leaves don't get a chance to dry. This is especially true for the tea rose because they are most susceptible to disease. Good luck with your roses.





Another important thing to remember is to loosen the roots after removing from the container. If the roots are growing in a circle around the root ball then pull them apart so they will grow into the soil and not continue around the root ball.
Reply:im not sure but i think its 3-6 weeks
Reply:they usually don't start doing much untill their roots start to get established! could be a day or two or as long as a month! give it time and u will be rewarded greatly!
