I have 4 rose bushes that are loosing their leaves, What is causing this? I water and fertilize regularly and they dont have any brown or black spots on the leaves, or and kinds of pests. The leaves are just falling off. I have 2 more on opposite ends that are doing great, and i treat them just the same and they have really nice, thick dark green leaves. All of them are full of buds. What can I do to prevent this or what is causing this? Thanks!

Many plants lose leaves when they are under-watered. It's the plant's first line of defense during drought etc. I'd suggest getting a "soaker" hose and thoroughly watering the roots as required. Roses don't like wet leaves, so avoid watering the entire plant, just water at the base. Wet leaves promote fungus etc.

all of the answers above are correct but I failed to see if they told you that roses are acid loving and I would try some coffee grounds at the base of the bush as well . good luck and happy gardening .
