HELP!!! :( I just bought a mini rose plant around 2 weeks ago and it was reall nice but now the leaves are turning brown. I can't see any black spots or mites. I live in Malta and the weather is pretty warm. At the moment it's around 27C. My mini rose is outside in our balcony. It gets around 2 hrs of direct sunlight between 9am-11am. I water it every day.
Please help :(

Hi Lava Angel,

Sounds like you are over watering. I get 27*C as 80*F and that's not all that hot. If your rose only gets 2 hours of sun a day, it probably only needs to be watered once every few days. Stick your finger into the soil up to your first knuckle. If the soil is wet, don't water.
