Troubleshooting

Rose not flowering

Ensure the rose is receiving adequate sunlight, water, and nutrients. Prune correctly in late winter/early spring and deadhead spent blooms throughout the season.

Yellowing leaves

This can indicate a lack of nutrients (especially iron or magnesium) or overwatering. Check soil moisture and consider a rose-specific feed.

Aphid infestation

Spray affected areas with water or use insecticidal soap or neem oil. Encourage natural predators like ladybugs.
