Miniature Roses

BIG problem

19 years ago

I think I really messed up with my little guys....I bought 2 mini's last spring- a peach and lavender...they did fine in containers and I brought them inside. I did not follow directions as to what to do w/ them to over winter as directed on this forum- DUMB me...I kept them in our bedroom on a windowsill, did not cut them back. They proceeded to get spider mites and aphids. I washed them off and cut them back. They started to grow back and were looking pretty good when the beautiful weather started. I put them on my deck to get some sun. The temps dropped to high 30's at night and the new leaves now have a greyish tint to them. WHAT DID I DO TO THEM...What can I now do to revive them? Can I salvage them since I stressed them so over the winter?

Nothing, don't panic. They are probably just readjusting to being outdoors. Keep the soil moist, but not too wet, and don't let them dry out. They should be fine. The temps in the day there are in the 50's and 60's right?
