How Roses Fail To Survive
Lack of Water: 90% of rose problems can be avoided if the rose is well watered. Roses need watering regularly throughout the growing season, regardless of rainfall. We recommend a bucket of water every other day, especially for newly planted roses. Wind Rock: Especially in exposed areas. Due to loose planting. Loose Planting: Tug the stem gently in spring after planting. If the plant moves easily, tread carefully around the bush. Severe Drought: Especially in poor soils. Causes yellowing of leaves. Waterlogged Soil: Too much water around the roots. Due to poor drainage. Severe Prolonged Frost: Causes crinkled leaves with brown marks, protect the rose in open areas. Use Of Fresh Manure: Burns the roots. Hard Pruning: Too hard pruning repetitively every year on bush roses, especially in sandy soil. Underground Pests: Chafer Grubs and Ants. Planting Under Trees: Causes root dryness, dense shade and toxic drip from the leaf canopy. Fatal Diseases: Rust, Canker and Honey Fungus.
