I followed the instructions on the package. 2 foot deep and round hole mound
of bone meal treated dirt with roots around it. Filled and watered with B-1
for 10 days. Then water once a week since. I got the bush at Home Depot it
was one of the premium bushes but I do not know which one. After
re-watering it yesterday with a tablespoon or so of the B-1 the leaves have
perked up. I cannot see if the black on the cut ends of part of the bush
are any worse or not.

Help!!!!!
My 4 week old bare root rose bush is getting black at the top of several
of
the original cuts. New leaves are still coming in but it looks like it is
trying to die from the top down. Do I have root rot or crown gall? I
live
in Arizona and the bush is planted in partial shade (afternoons).
