Hey,
Someone asked me about this today. I didn't know what to tell them. Maybe someone here could answer the question. What do you do with an indoor rose that is drying out?

Water it...
Sometimes though, that drying is a greenhouse plant, rushed into a dry store and then an even drier house just getting shattered. A plastic bag (held off the plant with a stick or wire frame) acts as a little greenhouse and can revive such a plant...)

It may also be planted in a pot way to small for it, and is root bound. Or it could be sitting in soil that retains no moisture at all. Where is it placed? Is it too close to heater, or somewhere very warm? The answer is to keep the water in it!
