Troubleshooting
Rose not flowering
Ensure the rose is receiving adequate sunlight (at least 6 hours per day). Check for proper watering and feeding. Prune correctly in late winter to encourage new growth and flowers.
Yellowing leaves
This can be caused by overwatering, underwatering, or nutrient deficiency. Check soil moisture and adjust watering. Apply a balanced rose fertilizer if a deficiency is suspected.
Pest infestation (e.g., aphids)
Inspect plants regularly. Handpick pests if few, or use a strong jet of water. Insecticidal soap or neem oil can be applied for more severe infestations.
Poor growth
Ensure the plant is in suitable soil and has adequate space. Check for root disturbance or competition from nearby plants. Pruning may be needed to stimulate new growth.

Water regularly, especially during dry periods and in the first year after planting. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
Pruning:
Prune in late winter or early spring. Remove any dead, diseased, or crossing branches. Shorten the main stems by about one-third to encourage bushier growth and more flowers. Deadhead spent flowers during the summer to promote further blooming.

Feed with a balanced rose fertilizer in spring and again in early summer. Mulching around the base can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
