Help needed for my lavender roses

12 years ago

last modified: 12 years ago

I LOVE roses, esp lavender roses. I have one rose that is fussy and every time it puts out a sprout or can it just wilts and dries up... I have used fertilizers, checked it for things and there are no bugs, no spider mites, no black spots, no fungus, it just won't grow. I have repotted it, fed it, moved it, it is potted, to no avail... this year it just looks like it is drying up, the leaves turned crispy and the cane shoots flopped and wilted... just don't know what to do... It is a specialty rose that is no longer being grown...
HELP, I don't know how to save it...

Sophie, that's pretty impressive. But, i visited your given web site and seen the rose bush but did not see any roses on it. Our pear tree did well but yielded less and less pears as time progress even though the tree stood firm. Your pic shows a rose bush that is very old but shows no roses on it. Per the OP's dilemma, no roses on bush seems to be the problem, not that the rose bush itself is not doing well

What type of winter protection did you provide? Some of what you describe sounds like freeze damage. Do you have pictures?

While growing up we had a pear tree. Over the course of my youth it produced less and less pears per year as time went on. We never investigated the reason why, but the pear tree was way there long before my parents brought the house. I just assumed that the tree reached its life expectancy.

Roses can live to be hundreds of years old. The world's largest rose bush, a Lady Banks rose in Tombstone, was planted in 1886.

I covered it well during the harsher weather, It started spring with several cane shoots, and our weather has stayed in the 40s and above since they shot out... It got no ice or snow on it, as I covered it well... all the other potted roses are fine... they were side by side... it just dried up from the leaves to the stalk to the cane...

How about temperature and moisture?
