This is the 2nd year I am not getting any blooms... the rose is the pink one with no thorns (cant think of the name at the moment) ... I think that is her ... got her with the house 12 years ago ... but for two years now, the buds either fall off or if they remain long enough, the stem just before the buds turns black like its burned up, and there goes the dried up bud. This turning black doesn't happen all at once... like right now, I thought I might be lucky because some buds are still on the plant ... today, most of those stems are black and the buds are drooping, dead. I only got a couple blooms last year, and a few this year.

Before this, she was really nice, neighbors were a threat to steal her...

Could I have overdosed her with epsom salts? Would that do this for 2 years now?

Once or twice I have seen a little tiny green bug come from a bud... I guessed that it was a thrip ... but the buds just kind of dry up...

I have also noticed that the leaves closest to the buds tend to stay closed up in the spring while the buds are developing.
