hi, bought a small potted one to plant in with other rose bushes, annuals etc. I bought the fertilizer to keep it blue, applied that.....water it everyday, and even miracle growed it a few days ago. Some of the leaves look burnt at the ends and the flower clusters look dead in some patches too.
question: do I cut off anything that's dead, what could I be doing wrong? The ground is kinda a mixture of clay and regular dirt....
Any help would be great!

I think that you have burnt your plant with all that synthetic fertilizer.
We like to encourage people to use organic fertilizers like liquid seaweed, liquid fish (smells but, is good), kelp meal, even composted manure, compost, compost tea and so on. These fertilizer cannot and will not burn the tree and some also contain healthy populations of flora and fauna that will help prevent disease from hurting your tree.
Also, if you have kept your tree indoors, that could be a problem too.
