Hi, Alan -- your photos are wonderful! Great that we can all share them
...
As an experienced rose grower, perhaps you can help me...? I
received one miniature rose (unamed) on March 25th, mailed to
me from a well known place in San Diego, Ca. It was in excellent
physical condition, and had about 8 tiny dark red roses on it.
I hung it from my window ceiling hook where it gets full morning sun.
I water it with ve-r-y dilute 20/20/20.
After about 3 weeks I found that quite suddenly many leaves were
fading away to brown in no pattern at all. No signs of insects. No
darkened veins.
I finally sprayed it with Chlorothananol but saw no improvement. No
other plants were infected. A week later I sprayed it again. It
continues to go downhill.
Since this one particular plant means so much to me, I would dearly
love to keep it alive. Any suggestions...?
