Rose lost its leaves?

The roses in my garden and that of my neighbours have lost their leaves and have got bare stems.



The rain has caused this.



There are little shoots and it appears that the roses are tyring to make more leaves. Is there any thing I can do to help them?



They look so sad. The bushes have roses on them but they look bewildered as the rain has affected them as well.



Thank you

Rose lost its leaves?
Hi, I feel for you because the rain has really messed with my roses as well. Most likely your roses have defoliated due to black spot which is a fungal disease caused from too much moisture or humidity. I have 15 roses and quite a few lost nearly half their leaves, but I caught the problem earlier. The first thing you need to do is clean the ground around your rose bushes. gather up all the fallen leaves and mulch and throw away in the garbage, not in a compost. This fungus will continue to live in the debri if not removed. Next, prune any spotted, dead, or dying branches. Remove any remaining roses as well. Next you will need to either buy a spray for black spot on roses or you can try some home remedies.

This is what I've been using and it appears to be doing the trick with the exception of one rose, my only hybrid tea. Hybrid teas are trouble. Anyhow, here are my antifungal home remedies if you are interested.

You will need two spray bottles.

In one 32oz spray bottle of water add 1tsp dish soap, 1tsp canola or veggie oil, 1tbs apple cider vinegar. spray tops and bottoms of leaves and branches once a week. This is safe and works as a preventative.

In the other bottle add 1 tsp dish soap, 1tsp oil, and 1tbs of baking soda. spray roses once weekly, but 3 or 4 days after the vinegar spray.



Spray early in the morning.



I've been using these home remedies for past few weeks and I only have one rose, the hybrid tea, that shows any remaining black spot.



Good luck
Reply:Bayer makes a product called All-in-One Rose and Flower care. It is a fertilizer, insecticide and disease control it is an awesome product. I own a garden center and all but insist that my customers who purchase roses also purchase this product, it has made rose growers out of people who have "black thumbs".
Reply:Rose bushes are an easy maintenance plant and all you need to keep them healthy is prune. Anything that looks dead or unhealthy, cut off. The best place to cut is just above any new growth, buds, or joints that the plant has. In a week or two, any budding growth will flourish and the plant will start its next budding cycle.
Reply:put plant food in the water you give them. it works everytime
Reply:If your roses have lost their leaves "due to the rain" consider that the bushes may have flack spot a fungal dieease that roses, especially hybrid tea roses aare prone to in humid weather.



The symptoms of black spot are round to irregular black splotches with fringed margins are quite obvious, mostly on upper leaf surfaces. Leaf yellowing develops around these black spots, with defoliation of these infected leaves common. Repeated defoliation weakens plants, leading to poorer blooming and greater sensitivity to other stresses.



Roses should be treated with a regular anti-fungal agents regularly during the growing season beginning in the spring as soon as new growth appears and continuing through August or September to prevent the disease from occurring.

Reply:This happens to mine every year there is no way to stop it...

Roses wilt within 3 days of them budding...

You can make sure they have enough light and water and no bugs come to eat the leaves

Good luck!
