Why are my rose stems drying and leaves falling
I brought 5 roses from my office (we do research on plants) I am an IT engineer.
So
these roses were probably doing well in Zone 11-13 where I live in
Delhi, India. When I brought them these 2 roses had small number of
leaves which fell off I thought it was due to winter.
The
stems tried sprouting few buds but even they fell off before they could
start forming leaves. One plant has completely dried out. That rose had roots when I unearthed it and some darkness on it. Somewhat black.
I thought it
was due to the fact that these two plants were earlier planted in a mud
pot by me. But even after shifting it in a plastic pot it does not seem
to be doing well.
I think this one will die as well. Nearly all stems have become bone dry so I had to prune it.
Conditions
I water them daily or on alternate days since the soil dries up pretty quickly.
They
were earlier kept in my balcony with minimal direct sun light now I
have moved them to the terrace with full sunlight but my house is near a
road don't know if the pollution got hold of it or what. Other plants
kept few cms apart are doing well even the other 3 roses
What can I do to keep it alive part of the main stem is still green. These are grafted roses.
small plant on the side is tamarind. Plant is growing in vermicompost and some local soil which is quite sandy.

Why have my rose leaves and stems all gone white?
Comments (0)When the weather is hot days and cold nights it becomes the idea condition for downy mildew. This is the worst kind as it will overwinter on the canes and show up again when next year. Spraying at the first sign with a fungicide weekly until all signs are gone will cure it. Some roses will get it if their roots are dry so a mulch is a good idea. Too close planting where air cannot circulate is another reason for this type of mildew....See Moremy roses are getting dry and leaves are falling ?
Comments (10)Manoj without being able to see the plant this is my guess. When leaves yellow then turn brown and crispy. It is almost always a root problem. Either sever transplant shock, Maybe it was placed in full sun before it was ready after changing pots. Perhaps the roots have been to wet or to dry. Maybe the roots fried in a dark pot. Last but not least too much fertilizer burned the roots. If your canes are still green she is still alive. Try to find the problem. Then move the pot to a shady area while it recovers. I wish you the best with your rose....See MoreWhy did my rose of sharon buds fall off?
Comments (3)Too wet, too dry or some other environmental adversity. Including perhaps the onset of autumnal temperatures. This likes rich soil, many of them here - where there is a lot of them to observe, both at outlets and in plantings - have quite poor leaf color most of the time. And hibiscus in general aren't wild about acidic soil either, which is dominant in my area....See MoreWhy is my geranium producing tiny stems and leaves?
Comments (10)I have the same type of geraniums. It’s been 2 months and they just won’t grow. They get fertilizer weakly weekly as all my other plants. I have them in full sun. I just gave up on thinking they are going to get taller or fuller. I swear it is always the ones I buy from the big box store. I could not go any farther this year to get plants. Every year I say I am not going there but they are much closer than any nursery. My friend picked me up a couple for my hanging baskets from a nursery and they look awesome. Live and learn always....See More
