My 4 rose bushes are dying - HELP!
Comments (6)Why did you get them so early? Roses are not indoor plants. You should have waited until this spring when you could plant them outside. Indoor heated air is dry and pulls moisture out of the canes. That's why when planting bare root roses outdoors it's advised you hill soil over the canes until new growth appears. Unless you can move them to a greenhouse where they'll get humidity and the conditions are more like outdoors, I doubt they'll survive. Two months ago means you got them the first of December, way too early in your zone 5b. I suspect Palatine shipped them because they thought you were going to plant them outdoors. Normally they don't ship to zone 5b until spring unless requested to do so....See MoreNew to roses! My rose is dying on the bush now so where do i cut

Comments (11)Ok wow! So many different ideas! Thank you! I live in the willamette valley zone 7B. I'm not planning on investing too much more time and energy into saving these 2 plants if it will be a challenge like it is starting to sound. I'm not a gardener and although I don't mind feeding, watering, and pruning them, I'm not interested in heavily involved life saving measures for them.. If the third one is doing really well, I'm not sure if it is my soil or my type of care. I don't have knots in the bud union. It rains a lot here in winter/spring and in the hot summers I usually water for 45 minutes 2-3 times/week. I turn the hose on low and place it at the base of each bush. I would post photos but am having difficulty from my phone....See MoreAre my rose bushes dying?
Comments (3)Keep in mind that as the years go by, even plants that used to be in good area might have changed now that trees have grown more. In my area, roses keep their leaves over the winter, so I usually would prune in the early spring. I'm not sure if your last picture is the same as how you prune them in the fall -- in other words, removing the canes with all the leaves....See Morejacqueline9CA
