Troubleshooting
Rose not flowering
Ensure the rose receives adequate sunlight (at least 6 hours daily) and is being fed regularly. Pruning at the correct time and deadheading spent blooms can also encourage more flowers.
Yellowing leaves
This can indicate overwatering, underwatering, or a nutrient deficiency. Check soil moisture levels and adjust watering. Consider a feed with iron chelate if a deficiency is suspected.
Presence of aphids or black spot
Inspect the plant regularly. Aphids can often be washed off with a strong jet of water or treated with insecticidal soap. Black spot may require removing affected leaves and applying a suitable fungicide.
Plant appears wilted
Check soil moisture; wilting can occur if the plant is too dry. Water thoroughly. If the soil is already moist, check for root rot or other underlying issues.
