What's wrong with the rose bush wilting? What to do when the rose bush wilts
Recently, the weather has cleared up, and with the temperature rising, our rose bushes have bloomed eagerly. However, many rose enthusiasts have found that the bloomed roses wilt within two days. What's going on?
What to do when the rose wilts after blooming for one day?
If we encounter the phenomenon of roses wilting after blooming for one or two days, or even collapsing immediately after blooming, we need to look for the reasons from the following aspects and solve them.
1. Lack of water in the potting soil
Our rose bushes require a large amount of water during the blooming period, but many enthusiasts do not master the amount of watering well. Once the potting soil lacks water, the rose petals will become soft and easy to droop.
Especially on sunny days, with strong sunlight, water evaporates quickly, so be sure to water the potted roses. Usually, roses planted outdoors need to be watered once a day during the blooming period, and if the soil is very well-ventilated, they may need to be watered twice a day.
Not only do potted roses easily lack water, but ground-planted roses can also have this problem. It is recommended that when the surface soil of ground-planted roses is dry during the bud and blooming periods, they can be watered to prevent insufficient water and cause flower wilting.
2. Too much sunlight causing sunburn
Sometimes, the potting soil is not short of water, but the rose flowers still show symptoms of the edges of the buds burning and the flowers wilting after two or three days. In this case, we need to consider that the sunlight is too strong.
Although roses like sunlight, some varieties are not very resistant to strong sunlight, especially in regions with intense sunlight, such as lavender, which is easily sunburned. In southern regions, the flowers of lavender often have burned edges.
For varieties of roses that are not resistant to sunlight, during blooming, they can be placed in a semi-sunny place in the morning to reduce sunlight exposure, which can prevent the flowers from being sunburned and also help extend the blooming period.
3. Gray mold disease
If our rose bushes are infected with gray mold disease, the flowers will also wither quickly. Roses are most prone to gray mold disease during rainy periods, which causes grayish-brown spots on the petals and prevents the buds from opening.
Already open roses infected with gray mold disease will show ugly spots, and the petals will quickly become soft and rot.
There is no completely effective way to eliminate gray mold disease in roses; it often appears when it rains a lot. Prevention mainly involves spraying fungicides after the rose buds show color, especially after rain, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of gray mold disease.
Roses are very beautiful and easy to care for, but it's not easy to do well. For rose beginners, it is recommended to read the book "How to Raise a Rose from Scratch." By following the instructions in the book, even beginners can raise roses well.
