My Sunny Kordana mini rose was purchased a week ago. I have placed it in a
bright window that has full sun for part of the day (have yet to time the
sun exposure)

Stalks of leaves are falling off, the edges of the yellow blooms are dry,
even the buds.

I do not detect pests, the soil is moist.

What can I do to aid my mini rose?

You basically need to get it outside and into the ground. Roses are
outdoor-loving plants.

There are people who grow roses successfully in pots outside, but if
you've never grown roses before, you'll probably have better luck just
sticking it in the ground. Make sure it gets lots of sun and water.

If you leave it inside, even in a sunny window, it will surely die,
and, as you've already noticed, pretty quickly at that. If you act
now, you can save it. At the very least, get it outside, even if you
can't get it in the ground. Remember that outside, if you leave it in
the pot, you'll probably have to water it almost every day.
