I've always had great big long lasting blooms on my White Dawn Rose.
This year, the top leaves are brown/yellow, and the blooms seem to be
rotting before they open.
Good soil, careful watering, no bugs or creatures I can see.
Anybody have an idea what's happening?
Will I loose the bush?
Please and Thank you.

Good day Firebrick,
With out seeing a photo of the rose, it sounds very much like Botrytis.
Look here and see if it looks like your rose.
