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.

If you leave it inside, even in a sunny window, it will surely die,
and, as you've already noticed, pretty quickly at that.

Amy--just want to say, Dave is right. What you describe happened to
every potted mini I kept indoors beyond the first dead leaf. As soon
as I got them outside and in the ground, they perked right up.
