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?

    A bigger pot would probably be the best place to start. In the meantime, some pruning to shape would be fine here. (Cut off the stuff furthest to the sides to kind of make it round.) In early spring, cut back pretty much all the side branches and leave like 3 canes, so it can grow out and refresh.
    That and a good amount of light should help it push flowers. But, don’t put it straight out in full sun from being indoors. It’ll fry. Gradually introduce it to more light each week. Plants are sedentary. They can’t adapt to sudden changes like that.
