How do I care for a mini-Rose bush that I just got and it's dieing. It's in original pot, I tried nutrients???

Question

It was flourshing with many blooms that died back. I've had it only 2 weeks, it's close to a window with bright, not direct sun light. A store had a clearance and no one I knew would get one because they said they couldn't keep them alive. Now it's happening to this one I bought also.

Answer 1

I have one on my portch that was bought for me last year for Mother's day. They are temporary in the pots they are planted in the store. If you want to save it, you have to get it out of that pot! It's most likely root bound (as was mine when I got it) Double the size of the pot it is in and it will double it's size by next year if you can save it.

1. Get a new pot, twice the size of the orriginal, fill it with a good potting soil, like Miracle Grow potting soil.
2. Take care removing the rose from it's pot, squeez the sides of the pot to loosen the dirt clump while turning it on it's side to ensure you loosen it all the way around, put your hand over the soil so you are cradeling the rose at the base, and turn upside down. It should slide rite out.
3. Gently loosten the roots at the base of the clump with your hands so they are not squeezed together so tightly. Replant your rose in the new pot with the good soil and water.

I would suggest getting it out of the house. They only live temporarily in the house, (at least I have never know any one who could keep them alive in the house) I repotted mine and kept it on my porch where it was in the shade (too much sun can put it in shock) It looked pidiful, but I trimmed off the dead stems so the energy could get to the live parts, and it has done beautifully. It is three times the size it was when I got it root bound, and has roses bloomed all over it as I type! :)

I hope you can save your's too, good luck!

PS: do not use any more fertilizer on it, when they are in "shock" like yours is that will hurt rather then help.

Answer 2

Miniature roses have the exact requirements as full grown roses. One of which is it needs at least 6 hours of direct sun light daily. Your plant is probably seriously root bound and roses hate that.
Remove the rose from it's container and loosen the roots. I never leave the container soil on a rose that I purchase from a garden center because they are never well cared for and always root bound. I remove all the soil from the roots and then I prune off any dead or mangled roots. The roots should be a nice creamy white. After you have removed the rose from it's container then you need to put it in a much bigger container and fill it with a good potting soil like MiracleGro or composted soil from the garden and make sure you water it very well. It would also help to prune the dead and dying branches leaving only green leave and/or stems. Mainly, I can tell you that your rose will not last inside year round unless you have a window that gets bright direct sun light. If you do not have such a window then you will need to place it outside during the growing season and just bring it in in the winter if you like. However, leaving it to overwinter outside will be just fine. Mine are in the garden year round.

Answer 3

Roses indoors have multiple problems. They need 1/2 -3/4 day of full light to be their healthiest yet they do not tolerate being scorched with high heat nor low humidity. Indoors it is difficult, without gro-lights, to provide enough sunlight. If they are in a window in direct sun they become very hot. Roses never evolved for the tropics they all come from the northern hemisphere's temperate zones. This means the heat behind a window forces them to transpire water faster than they can take it up.
Next, every one who mentioned being root bound is correct. Miniatures need at least 1 gallon with a broad 5-10 gallon being better. They need room to spread their roots and enough soil to retain moisture so they can draw on it during the day's heat without drying to much.

Answer 4

Miniature roses have the certain necessities as complete grown roses. One of that's it demands no less than 6 hours of direct solar gentle everyday. Your plant is as a rule critically root certain and roses hate that. Remove the rose from it is box and unfasten the roots. I not ever depart the box soil on a rose that I acquire from a lawn middle for the reason that they're not ever good cared for and consistently root certain. I eliminate the entire soil from the roots after which I prune off any useless or mangled roots. The roots must be a quality creamy white. After you might have eliminated the rose from it is box then you definitely have to placed it in a far better box and fill it with a well potting soil like MiracleGro or composted soil from the lawn and be certain you water it very good. It could additionally aid to prune the useless and loss of life branches leaving most effective inexperienced depart and/or stems. Mainly, I can inform you that your rose is not going to final within yr circular except you might have a window that will get shiny direct solar gentle. If you should not have one of these window then you'll have to location it external for the duration of the developing season and simply deliver it in within the iciness should you like. However, leaving it to overwinter external might be simply pleasant. Mine are within the lawn yr circular.

Answer 5

Mini Rose Care

Answer 6

These mini-rose bushes usually do best when planted outside. I have about 25 outside planted in ground that I have had for about 5 years. I have had one that My husband bought me the day we got married (13 years ago) it has been dug up and moved 4 times and it is still alive, however I have tried unsuccessfully hundreds of times to get these things to live in pots indoors and I just can't do it. I can get them to live in pots outside, but not inside. I don't know why, but they just don't seem to make it.

Answer 7

It's roots need more room, it's probably what I heard my dad call "root bound." Get a large pot and carefully transplant the plant. It should be fine in about a week.

Answer 8

Cut off every dead branch and leaf. Keep only green stems. Soak it in fish emulsion, then leave it in the shade until it recovers from stress

Answer 9

Try putting mircle grown on it, and replanting it in another pot, it might be root bound, and that will make it die. Make sure its getting enough water, and sunlight.
