At weekend I went and bought a very nice pale pink patio rose. It is now standing at the side of the front door whilst I decide where to put it - it has been well watered. BUT basically all the roses even buds are dropping off!!! not wilting, it isn't dry, not curling up and going brown - just the rose branches are all dropping off at where their brachi (? is that the right term) meet the main stem. I spent a whole £3.99 on this and I expect it to be grateful!!!
Anyone know what it could be? But I'm going to say this once, and once only, Gene. Stay out of Camberwick Green0 -
I don't know but you could try searching the Disease Diagnosis section of Rosarians Corner.The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.0

but if i take it back it'll feel unwanted and neglected and it's part of the family now (yes, it is time for my medication....)But I'm going to say this once, and once only, Gene. Stay out of Camberwick Green0

Then you must coddle it, and feed it marshmallows, and give it a fluffy pillow ...
Seriously, you could try repotting it with a lump of lard in the bottom to see if it perks up.

Yup, lard. Works wonders. A friend gave me the tip.The ability of skinny old ladies to carry huge loads is phenomenal. An ant can carry one hundred times its own weight, but there is no known limit to the lifting power of the average tiny eighty-year-old Spanish peasant grandmother.0
