Well, I may have a similar story..... kinda. My ex-wife loved roses and I bought a Mrs. Lincoln rose bush. I fertilized it, bone mealed it, pampered it, read all about what they like, bought it and applied it, nothing, not a single rose. I gave up and just ignored it. We split up, got divorced. Suddenly, that spring, there must have been a thousand roses on the bush and it's been blooming every year since. Go figure!
