Minni rose in trouble..

2 years ago

I bought three minni roses from a garden center. i planted all three in the ground as they are z4 hardy.

i was watering them once a week, then every other day wheb it was in the upper 90’s. One of them lost all its leaves., They dried up and fell off.

the stem is still green.

The other two are doing ok. one is putting out new growth.

What should i do with the one that lost its leaves?

should i dig it up and put it in a pot?

i had fertilized them when i planted them with rose granuals slow release. did i water that one too much,? The ground is damp under like an inch of mulch. They are on south side of and overhang, they get some shade and morming and afternoon sun part shade from a tree.

I dont want to lose them.

advice please.

Make sure water is reaching the roots. If the soil is dry to start with, a barrier can form and prevent the water from penetrating, never getting to the roots. Dig a little ways down to make sure it is moist. I wouldn't fertilize the weak one again until it's putting on new growth.

I would shade the rose that lost its leaves with something like a garden chair and continue watering it like you water all your plants.

This year it barely has any leaves and now I am officially worried. ==>>> what were you previously ... unofficially worried.. lol ... its most likely dead.. above the top most green shoot ... so cut all that off ... it may or may not thrive ... but one thing for sure.. it will never look like it did before ... so get that out of your mind ... during the next 3 to 5 years.. you will shape it into some new form .... frankly ... i would cut it to the ground... kill the stump ... and if i insisted on a ROS ... invest $20 bucks on a new one ... and plant it a few feet away ... where i could dig a hole .... thought this one may recover over the next 5 years.. a new healthy one.. might out grow it ten fold.. properly planted and all ... your choice ... i would have never worked as hard as you did moving such a large plant .. two thumbs up for that effort ... ken ps: any idea.. how it ended up leaning??? .... is it growing away from some large tree we cant see????

You're right, Edelweiss. Those roses show what I have always called "the Black Finger of Death" that strikes down as many as half of my bareroot plantings over the summer, and I'm pretty experienced at roses. I have learned that it may be verticilium wilt, and it might indeed come with the plants, or just be a factor of being cooped up long enough to wait for shipping to my cold zone. Regardless, even though I've tried what MichaelG has suggested and plant with Epsom salts, the only solution I've found is to cut below the black faithfully and hope for the best. Usually if I can keep one cane alive from any bareroot planting, I consider it a success. David Austin roses are particularly susceptible to the Black Finger of Death for me, perhaps having something to do with their storage while waiting. Anyway, akaur - your photos don't look like the VW menace yet at all. Just some surface damage that you want to trim back to the nearest growing point with sharp and clean pruners. Do keep an eye on them, but they're sprouting growth buds all over the base and will be actively growing before you know it. Cynthia

None of those pictures are blackspot. The first one is downy mildew, which is generally only a problem in the spring and fall when temperatures are cool. So unless you live in the Pacific Northwest or somewhere with cool summers, it generally goes away on its own. The other pictures are anthracnose which also does not usually pose major problems. However, if you live in a humid climate you are going to get blackspot sooner or later. Roses with good sun exposure and good soil are going to be more resilient so I would recommend planting them in the ground in a place that gets at least 6 hours of direct sun. Mix in a good potting soil (I like Miracle Gro for its consistency) at about a 1:1 ratio with existing soil. If you want to keep them in pots long term, I would recommend a minimum 20 gallon pot. Anything smaller will need constant watering. Jude the Obscure will get blackspot, but in my experience it is vigorous enough to keep flowering without spaying. Ebb Tide is going to need more care so I would recommend an organic fungicide when you start to see leaf spots. Don't worry about the rugosa. Rugosas are tough plants and do not like to be sprayed! Hope that helps!

I dug it up, as it was a new plant. And put it in a little pot, set in shade. The roots were white looking. But now all the stems are brown. I put it back in the ground. Idk see what happens. The ground isnt real dry, just moist. It gets shade in that spot.

the other one its leaves are turning brown now too, only one is growing. Maybe roses arent my thing??
This one is putting on new growth.

Cindy, rose sellers recommended liquid fertilizer for the first year. It is possible that they got over fertalized. Sometimes less is more .

I would try and protect them from direct sun and I use Super Thrive for root development.

Dont give up on roses. I have lost many mini roses

I think that they are challenging to get started.

They should all be watered daily, especially when temps are in the 90s and roses are hew. Diane

All roses are different. Even if they are the same variety rhe ymay have different needs. Make sure the roots are ok water it extra and give it some shade and wait and see.
