KenNEGA said: Do yourself and the rose a HUGE favor. Get rid of the stone's in that section of the garden. You live in Texas and it gets hot during the summer. The sun will radiate heat off your house and all the stones will collect more heat. You don't want to cook your beautiful rose. Replace all the stones at least 3 ft on each side of the rose with Pine Bark Mulch and keep everything well watered. Your rose will be very happy
that way.


I must politely disagree. Mulch is mulch, and that rose is healthy enough to bloom very well. Leave it be except for fertilizing and watering.
