    My brother got me 2 rose bushes for my birthday. One - Champagne moments floribunda (first pic ) is doing great. The other one -Warm wishes , hybrid tea rose , is looking a tad sickly. The third pic shows some discolouration below the pruning cut. Is there anything I can do to rescue this one , or should I just wait and see if it perks up by itself ? :what:

    TIA

    Good morning Harry,my advice for what its worth is to leave it for now,I can already see some new buds coming through,I think its just a slow starter,And what a Rose its won 15 awards well worth the wait:dbgrtmb::)

    Keep us updated Harry

      Hi HarryS. I would agree with Wiseoldowl there is life there. i can see by your photo several buds coming through. i have planted (lost count) of the number of roses i have planted this year and one or two look similar to yours. these poorly ones i have given a feed of miracle gro
      and they seem to have perked up:thumbsup:.
