How to care for roses to prevent them from withering
For most women, how to care for roses to prevent them from withering and explanations on rose maintenance tips and green plant flowers will be introduced by the editor-in-chief.
Now it is already autumn, and many people have problems with their roses. The most recent feedback is that roses turn into bare stems. What is the reason for this? Today, Xiaoqi will introduce the four reasons that cause roses to turn into bare stems. If you don't pay attention, you will have problems, and reasonable improvement can make the leaves green and the flowers abundant.
1. Poor ventilation in the environment
Roses are most afraid of poor ventilation. In a poorly ventilated environment, they are prone to root rot and leaf drop due to the inability to dry out after watering for ten to fifteen days. Since roses do not like overly moist soil, it eventually leads to leaves falling off and only the stem remaining. If only the bare stem is left and you don't take care of it, it will turn black from the top down, leading to black stems or even rotting from the bottom roots.
Therefore, if yellow leaves and leaf drop are caused by poor ventilation, it is necessary to ventilate in time. The simplest method is to move it outdoors. If it cannot be moved outdoors, find an electric fan to blow on it for a few hours after watering, allowing the soil surface to be slightly moist, which will not cause any problems.
2. Improper watering
Roses are a type of plant that likes fast-drying and moist soil. If watered too much in a home environment, the soil dries slowly, leading to leaf rot and leaf drop, leaving only the stem. If watered too little, the entire plant will wilt, with a large area of the bottom leaves turning yellow and falling off. After a few times, only the bare stem may remain, and even the top may dry up and retract. Therefore, proper watering is essential for caring for roses. With soil ventilation, wait for the soil surface to dry a little, then water thoroughly, which will not cause any problems. Never allow excessive drought or overwatering.

3. Not controlling pests
Roses are very prone to attracting pests. When infested, many gardeners ignore them, or some even believe in online tips, such as using water to rinse off red spiders. Have you considered that rinsing only pushes the pests to the soil surface or other pots, and they will climb back up and continue to thrive, eating the leaves of our roses? The leaves of roses, when eaten by pests like red spiders for a long time, will shed in large numbers, severely affecting their growth. Therefore, it is essential to treat pest infestations promptly.
The simplest method is to spray some pesticide on the leaves (both front and back), branches, and the surface of the pot. Spray every three days for three times to completely stop the infestation and ensure no recurrence. If you only use home remedies, some pests cannot be killed and will only hide temporarily, leading to another outbreak and leaf shedding. Over time, the plant may even die.
4. Not controlling diseases
The most common disease in roses is powdery mildew, caused by poor ventilation, which results in a white powder forming on the front or back of the leaves. If left untreated, it will spread to all leaves, causing them to twist, dry up, and eventually fall off. It can also affect the stems and flower buds. Therefore, it is essential to isolate and treat promptly. There are many treatment options available, such as Nide, Shigao, or even Mancozeb. As long as it is a fungicide, it can be used. Do not use Multiradical, as it is preventive. Spray every three days for three times to completely stop the disease, and after recovery, cut off those leaves to allow normal growth.
These four points can easily cause our roses to turn into bare stems. Once discovered, check the cause and make reasonable improvements as suggested by Xiaoqi to ensure our rose plants have green leaves, can perform photosynthesis, and grow vigorously to produce more flowers.
