Help with what I think is Peace Rose?
This gifted rose was very neglected when I recieved it and finally bloomed for me! I think it is a grafted peace rose. I try to keep it alive but it looks so, blah. It has a few canes growing from the sides but it's so empty in the middle and has black spot on every leaf. I know nothing about roses, so I wanted to ask if anyone here could give suggestions on maybe pruning or fertilizing this plant to make it healthier. I know there is nothing I can do for the black spot now, I have a preventative for future growth now that I know it needs it. It has sentimental value, so I would love to help it thrive, if possible! Thank you!
The single flower is so big and smells wonderful! This is what it looks like today!!
And unfortunately the rest of the plant looks pretty rough.

I think my rose is dying, can anyone help?
Comments (6)The yellowness of the foliage looks chlorotic, which if there is any iron in your soil at all, the foliage will green up as soon as the soil warms up more. In colder soil, roots have a harder time accessing the iron that is there in the soil. "Iron chlorosis is known to be aggravated by cool soil temperatures and conditions that restrict air movement into soil: plastic sheet mulching, compaction, and water-saturated conditions. " In warmer soil, the roots can make use of the iron. Yellow canes--those are usually on their way out. The plant looks like it still has some good healthy areas, so nothing to get too worried about yet. Chlorosis is rather complex--no "instant" cure, but no need to to jump on and Do Something About It today. Read about it and get a good understanding of your soil and when/if it happens, so you can develop a long term correction, if necessary. There are some good articles from State agricultural sites and universities. Here is a link that might be useful: one example article on chlorosis U of Utah...See MoreHelp with Peace Rose
Comments (4)Wet weather can create conditions that cause the blackspot fungus to flourish, but this rose disease is an irritating fact of life for rose growers in most parts of the country - regardless weather conditions. Some people ignore it and maintain no-spray gardens, others seek out BS resistant varieties & hope for the best. Many of us, however, spray fungicides regularly to keep the disease at bay. (Welcome to the wonderful world of roses ;-) Peace is a rose is BS-prone for me, so spraying it regularly is essential in my garden. The majority of sprays are BS preventatives, not BS cures; therefore, if there aren't too many infected leaves on your plant now, it would be a good idea to pick them off and remove them from the area....See More'Peace' rose in trouble HELP!
Comments (18)Here's the scoop on spraying. I spray weekly. The spray has to be early enough in the day that it will dry before dew sets at night. Thus, I can spray at 6 p.m. in the summer when I get off work if need be. Get at least a one gallon or two gallon sprayer with wand. Don't use an old Windex bottle as the coverage is not adequate. Spray with goal of getting every leaf, and particularly try to get under the bottom leaves where blackspot starts. I try to spray using Ortho's product formerly known as Funginex. I also use a second type of fungicide either in combination with Funginex or in the alternate weeks. Now that I have a peach tree I will alternate captan which is part of the fruit tree spray. In early spring Daconil is alternated because it is good for the early spring fungal problems. In the summer heat Daconil will stress roses. I include in each spray a foliar feed, including 1 tbsp per gal. Miracid or Miracle Gro, and 1 tbsp per gal. fish emulsion. I also have Pentathlon and Immunox on the shelf just in case. Pentathlon is used just in case a spotted leaf should show up and then I try to innoculate the plant with repeat sprays as per directions. And Immunox I will use for powdery mildew roses, occasionally. Of course regular watering is needed and if it is dry, water the day before you spray....See MoreJust transplanted rose cuttings...I think we need help...
Comments (3)When I transplant cuttings into their own pots, I give them 1/2 strength fish emulsion every other week. Where are you keeping them? Yellow leaves can be caused by lots of things, not just nutrient deficiency. These little babies are pushing leaves at a time when their relatives outdoors are still sleeping. There are fewer daylight hours and a much lower angle sun than in late spring when temps start to warm and things outside begin to grow. This may not have anything to do with it, it's just the first thing that popped into my head. Don't even get me started on the possibility of spider mites ... we won't go there. :) Nine new babies on your first try with cuttings is great! Congratulations. Connie...See More

Yes, cuttings will work. I have a plant of a Cl Peace which I grew from a rooted cutting of a very old grafted one which was dying. It does fine on its own roots. It does get BS, as all of my mid 20th century HTs do, but I love it so much I take care of it.
If yours was mine, I would plant it in the ground, and plant it much deeper than you have it in that pot - I would bury most of the bud union. That will limit suckers, and also give it a chance to grow its own roots if it wants to.
Here is my rooted cutting at about 2 years old (mine is a climber, so I am training it sideways onto the fence):
