unknown rose disease-stem rotï¼
Comments (1)The question is, did it die because of the stems turning black, or did the stems turn black because it died of a root infection that cut circulation off to the stems? You can see by the wrinkled texture of the still-green portion of the canes that no circulation is getting up to the canes from the roots. They are shriveled. Look at the roots, are they rotted, soft, gooey? Did the soil smell sour and foetid when you pulled the rose out of the ground? Is the area constantly soggy? Those conditions would point to rot. Is it possible a large pet dog urinated several times on the rose and gave it such a blast of ammonia that the rose was poisoned? Did it accidentally get too much fertilizer? That would point to death by chemical damage. A bacterial infection would be another possible culprit--are there other problem plants in your yard?...See MoreHelp- Tomatoes dying with unknown disease!
Comments (1)Possibly Bacterial Spot 'Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria'. Try a product called Serenade or a copper-based plant disease control product....See MoreUnknown Disease on Beefsteak
Comments (3)Ok, thanks for the input. No chance it's fertilizer burn or thrips/some kind of pest? I scratched some fertilizer into the soil on this one for some reason even though this soil probably doesn't need it....See MoreUnknown Disease for scotch bonnet
Comments (2)It looks like there may be some sort of root damage or root infection. However, I'm still learning myself and interested to hear what others with more experience say and/or would do to save it......See MoreLaura Smyer (9a)
