Rose leaves are shriveling but new buds are growing.?

I recently planted two roses bushes. The one I have not yet planted looks pretty and green, no burnt or shriveled leaves and lots of unopened rose buds. However the two I have gotten around to planting have fewer unopened rose buds, and the pretty leaves around the buds are burnt and shriveled. Did i plant the wrong, over watering or what. The garden center guy said I should water them everyday for about a month after I plant them. I don't want them to die any suggestions?

hear is something to try that may help them, they may have been over watered, or if you water in direct sunlight and spay the entire bush than they can get burned and also not be getting all the water they need due to evaporation, common mistake, also they may have gone in to shock when you put them into the ground (not likely but possible). If you have fire place ash or know someone who does take about 2- 3 cups of ash (only ash from burnt wood and no more than 3 cups) and spread it around the top of the ground at the base of the plant. And then water early morning and evening. Do not water in direct sunlight, or spray the entire bush just lightly water around the base of the bush until the ground is saturated. If they are burnt, in shock or just pissed off at life (lol) this should pull them back from the brink and give you some great blooms too
Reply:First of all...what area do you live in? Second, did you plant them in full sunlight. It sounds to me like they are sun-burned. This can be common with plants purchased at a garden center. Many times, the plants are kept indoors ..planting them out without conditioning them to their surroundings can shock them. Also, I can't believe someone would tell you to water everyday without knowing your soil conditions. If you have really loamy or really sandy soil, it probably won't hurt. However, if you have a clay soil or something that doesn't drain as fast, i would cut it back to every other day. Another thing to think about...has it rained at all? If it does, you can skip a couple days of watering.


When you planted, did you make sure soil line was even with the top of the soil around the hole...planting too shallow or too deep can be detrimental.
Reply:Check the pH level of the soil that you planted your roses in. Miracle Gro is a great fertalizer that helps balance that out, as well as give them food that will help make them grow extra full and beautiful.
Reply:Well, my thoughts are twofold: a. the roses have a disease such as blight or some other fungus, and that being the Case might spread the disease to your healthy plants. Solution might be to spray them with a rose fungicide.


But b. the plants may have been damaged by cold temperatures,e.g. freezing, or they were not cared for while they were in your garden stores facility..not being watered,etc..


My only suggestion is to return the plants for a refund and then pick healthy looking specimens with bright green leaves.
Reply:If you planted your roses too close together or near any other large rooted plant they will fight for water and nourishment, one out of two will always die if planted to close together?


Did you plant your roses under any trees? Roses love lots of sun. Try planting them where they have morning to midday sun with afternoon shade to protect them from the intense summer heat. (depending on your location)





Did you soak your roses overnight in a solution of vitimain B1 and bleach (one tb per each gallon) The bleach helps to sanitize the plant and may prevent diseast like root gall. The vitamin B1 helps to get the plant off to a quick start and avoid shock.





Did you dig a hole large enough to cover the root ball up to the first knot? Toss in a handfull of superphosphate. Make sure the knot or bud union is above ground. Unless you are in a climat with freezing winters. Water the plant well and if the soil sinks a bit add mor soil or mulch.
