I have a new rose bush that have drooping buds. Once they get big, they
just droop over. Another bush nearby does not have that problem. Another
rose bush was in that spot for a number of years and had the same problem.
What could be causing this to two separate rose bushes?

Check the soil in that area, i suspect it's probably not getting enough
water. Look at the buds early in the morning. If they're upright, then droop
in the afternoon, it's probably lack of water. Consider adding a drip
irrigation system near that rose to help it get sufficient water.

Consider adding mulch or compost to help keep the soil moist.
