Leaves falling off mini
*** post for FREE via your newsreader at post.newsfeed.com ***
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?

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. |

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. |

Leaves falling off mini
As a rule minis are grown on their own roots and thus are hardier than a
grafted variety. In the ground they tend to be susceptible to spider mites due the their lack of height. Just keep an eye on them and I you can, remove the lower leaves to reduce the risk.

Roses detest the dry still air, spider mites appear out of nowhere, and everything you have described fits the pattern to the T, your experiences have been posted here hundreds of times. Put it in a decent sized pot outside, if you must grow it in a pot, but unless you do this, your rose is toast. And just follow any normal precautions of the pot drying out, etc., etc. But putting it in the soil is far preferable to the rose. Always. A lot of exhibitors grow roses in pots before they find out if they're good enough to put in the ground, this goes for big roses too. I grow one called Chica Kordana, and I swear, infact, that it's the bustingest, healthiest miniature I've ever grown. Blooms by the bazillions. Bought it on some counter at a hardware store. These are commonly called thwoaway woses, but since miniatures are most often bred from crossing a Mini with a Hybrid Tea or a Floribunda (two larger roses) there is no reason they shouldn't exhibit every hardiness characteristic of their parent(s). m |

Stalks of leaves are falling off, the edges of the yellow blooms are dry, even the buds. The plant has most likely lived its short life in a greenhouse, in a carefully controlled environment of optimal humidity, water, and light. Taking it out of the greenhouse, into the store was a shock to it, then into the very different, and harsher, environment inside the house, has caused it quite a bit of trauma. I would more gradually acclimatize it to the outdoors, though. Make sure its in a south facing window, keep the window open as much as possible, and take it outdoors during the day for a few hours, sheltering it from any strong winds. After a couple weeks, let it stay out overnight, and see how it does. Then plant it, using the proscribed dilution of vitamin B-1 plant starter. Be sure to include it in your spray program! I don't spray the leaves as long as with the others, but I still make sure they are covered top and bottom. Scopata Fuori |

Starting with Bt, fish emulsion, bone meal, Milky Spore, and kelp extract. Stinks, yes it does. Scopata Fuori |

Stalks of leaves are falling off, the edges of the yellow blooms are dry, even the buds. This is exactly what my rose is doing. However, in PA. USA, it is quite cold right now. What can I do till it warms enough to place outside? Even a gradual acclimation is rough considering the below freezing nites. How about a plastic tent to keep moisture in?? thanks, Mark |
