Mini-Rose Bushes Won't Survive?
Question:I have three mini-rose bushes (orange and yellow) that I bought a few months ago and have them in planters in my living room. They were beautiful for a few weeks, and then quickly deteriorated, turning into dry brown sticks. I have now tried them in all kinds of sun, more water/less water, under lamps, in the shade, with fan circulating the air, and I've yet to have a healthy bloom. As a matter of fact, they're now just about deader than dead. Is there anyway to resurrect them, and how do I go about taking care of them properly so that this doesn't happen again?
Answers:
nope their gone. transplant them outside after they have bloomed.and care for them like a regular rose bush. they will re-bloom again.it might not bloom as the color it was tho. i had a very beautiful orange one,and it bloomed again,into a salmon color. trim back in the fall and these little one's will be back next year.
don't feel bad. those are usually raised in a controlled environment, sold like cut flowers, and not expected to live long. they will do best with full sun and intermittent mist. good luck
I think they may have required repotting and a bigger pot. I bought 2 small bushes at 1\2 price as they were deteriorating and I removed all the dead leaves replanted and I feed them my banana peels and they are now blooming beautifully.
