Troubleshooting
Rose fails to establish or shows poor growth
Ensure the planting site has adequate sunlight and well-draining soil. Check watering consistency; too much or too little can hinder growth. Verify the plant was not root-bound upon arrival and was planted correctly.
Few or no flowers produced
Confirm the rose is receiving sufficient sunlight. Check if it has been adequately fed. Pruning at the wrong time or insufficient deadheading can also impact flowering.
Leaves turn yellow or spotted
This could indicate fungal diseases like black spot or rust, or nutrient deficiencies. Improve air circulation by pruning, ensure proper watering, and consider a suitable fungicide or fertilizer if the problem persists.
Aphids or other pests detected
Wipe away small infestations with a damp cloth or spray with a strong jet of water. For larger infestations, use insecticidal soap or a specific pest control product suitable for roses.
