all my roses this spring are all brown around the edges of the petals and look real bad. how do i fix them?

Answer 1

You'll have to cut them off and wait for the next batch. It's from the freeze.

Answer 2

There has been so much damage due to late freezes that Ashdown Roses put up a special page to help. http://www.ashdownroses.com/index.asp?PageAction=Custom&ID=61
If your rose had begun to open its bud scales and expose new growth when a frost occurred they would thaw very rapidly in the first direct morning light. At work when we thawed a cell line we use a machine to bring the cells up in small increments so the cell's chances of rupturing are minimized. In the garden there is no protection from heating up quickly. This means large regions of a plants tender new growth is damaged. This will have to be pruned out.
In roses it can create a blind shoot. A blind shoot is basically growth that has been damaged by something ( cold, chemical, insect, ect. ) and will normally not produce a suitable rose, if any. When you look at a blind shoot the foliage does not show the natural progression of the color as the leaves develope. There may be an interruption in the inter-nodal spacing where the color change occurs.
Do not pull them off, this will cause damage on the cane and allow disease to enter, cut them off. Some people remove all blind shoots as soon as they are detected, I remove them gradually since the foliage is still producing food to the root system. Eventually they will need to be removed, or if big enough cut back to a strong five leaflet. A mass of blind shoots is a haven for disease.

Answer 3

The second answer is more apt to be correct. The frost and the big freeze has hit all of the gardens hard. I think everything will snap out of it. Trim the brown spots off the rose bushes. that is what a friend of mine told me to do and she has nothing but roses in her garden. I know about irisis and daylillies but I'm new to roses.
I planted 3 last year (lost 1) I'm planting a climber this time.

Answer 4

Do they have enough water? Because it sounds to me like they are dying. Just give them plenty of water, and some miracle grow mixed in with the water. That's what I do for my Hibiscus and Ficus and Pasneys and they are doing great!
