I Have 3 new rose bushes 2 are doing fine so far one is giving me trouble .Its starting to yellow on the leaves and form brown spot some leaves have already dropped off dead.I have sprayed it with insectiside and gave it iron sulfate what to do now these roses are like my children but as hard as it is to belive my children didn't give me this much trouble.I have 2 other older bushes that really do what they want and bloom ok I guess I'm not into expensive products.thanks ahead of time

Could it be that you have not watered the roses enough? They can catch diseases easily and cannot stay resistance when they do not have enough water.

First thing you must do is to cut off all affected feuillage to avoid infecting other roses.

Secondly, there are a lot of very effective and DIY homemade formula spray under the rose forum's ROSE CARE.

Good luck pal

I was told to give them the drip effect since there new to let it soak in good I have done that also it has been raining alot lately now that all the dead leaves are gone and I've given it some Iron I'll wait and see what happens THANKS ALOT FOR THE TIPS

Hi Acapharmony,

If the growth does not kick off, I suggest you to use a herbal recipe to trigger the start. Stinky nettles is the best choice of all, crash a handful of their leaf and soak them over a few days in water (5 litres). It stinks, therefore wear long sleves shirt and gloves when you handle this plant. It is a CPR remedy for me, and it works everytime.

If you cannot find nettles easily, you can also use Espom salt (1tsp) to half a litre of water.

Good luck pal,

I've heard of using epsom salt before now I know for what and why thanks alot
