| Hello all, I have some roses that the leafs are turning yellow/orange. I have never tried growing roses, as a matter of a fact this is my first year gardening. Any suggestions would be nice. Thanks

| Could it be from not enough water? Ya, Na |

| Not enough water, too much water? A nutrient deficiency? The soils pH is out of kilter causing some soil nutrients to not be available to the plant? What is going on with the plant is a symptom of the problem and you need to dig into your soil to start looking for that. |

| That’s kind of what I was asking! I have no experience with roses and I thought someone here would have a suggestion or wisdom of some sort. |

| The foliage is wilted from lack of water, or the opposite, constant waterlogging. If the rootball breaks up when you transplant from pots, the plant may need shade for a week or so. I water recent transplants almost as if they were still in the pot-- a heavy initial soaking, then 1/2 gallon every other day, or every day if it's hot and sunny. |

| My plants have gotten worse!!!! I’m thinking it could be from not enough water or I used pet in the "hole" I dug. What I did is put compost at the bottom with bone meal, then mixed pet, compost, and native soil with blood/bone meal around the root ball then used the native soil again on top for moister control. I was thinking the pet has a natural PH of 3.8 and my plants don’t have the "food" they need available to the….? I don’t know, but I did put mulch down, it was fresh wood chips and this could have robbed my plants of their nitrogen an in return tuned them yellow! So maybe I could feed them and adjust the PH? Just a thought.
