Question

I got a mini rose plant from home depot.It had a lot of buds on it.I transfered the plant to one of my hanging pots in a area of my patio which gets light from 3-5pm .All of a sudden the buds have started to drop.the leaves look weak. Will the plant die soon?.What should i do to save it.....Please help me

Answer 1

roses need more than 2 hrs of sun, preferably MORNING sun before it gets super hot.

roses also like "damp feet" and hanging pots dry out quickly, as do ANY kind of pot.

anytime you transplant you should trim a third of the foliage to help with transplant shock.

SO, find a spot with more sun and make sure you keep the soil damp (NOT flooded) It'll come back.
