Gardeners’ Forum: “Rose buds falling off”
Back to Gardeners’ ForumRose buds falling off
Posted by Tanya on Thursday, June 18, 2009 2:00 PM ADTHi, I moved in the fall and inherited some beautiful perennial gardens. I have a small miniture rose bush in the front garden that has flourished and was covered in buds and started to bloom yesterday. This morning I noticed a few buds on the ground and when looked closer i noticed almost half the buds had fallen off into the bush! There were aphids on the plant and I had been phyiscally removing them and sprayed the bush with a light solution of soap and water. I can't see any other pests. There are a few leaves discoloured, i think from the aphids, but i didn't see any today? What is causing this? Thanks!! Tanya
