Let me give you this piece of million-year old rose advice...always clip your blooms just a hair above the crotch of a stem that has 5 leaves. I was told that's what keeps them blooming.
So far it's worked for me.

If I understand correctly, you are cutting off the stem with 5 leaves?

Trithkeeper, please correct me if I'm wrong.
