Thank you so much for so much dedication in addressing my issue. I am proud of Minerva and I think at the moment she is doong fine. As I mentioned earlier today (in my time zone;), few other plants worry me more. One is with me from September last year, one I got it in June. And to my surprise, it is the first time I read that the comtainer might be too large for the root of the rose, because all I get whenever i interact on forums to share impressions is that only 60x60 cm pots are "acceptable" if not larger. What I noticed when I transfered the new ones from the growing pots they came in is that the new "home" is decently roomy but not extremely. Also I chose sorts of roses that keep a modest size, since I have a balcony at my disposal and not a garden.
With your permission, I will add few photos of the two roses that concern me.
The yellow one, a modest sort, is with me from September last year. She got an aphid March (go figure on the 12th floor;)) and I fertilized it I think in April. She is blooming but I just sense something is off. The browning of leaves - is is there too mich or too little water? The torment that pushed me into weriting here.
No
And the other one, is Kordes Earth Angel (aka Heezogin Christiana). Came to me weeks ago, as a replacement for same type of rose that came dried out during transport. The replacement rose is a real drama (queen). With her I see yellowing of new buds and wilting of the existing ones.
So… what am I doing wrong?
And again: is it 1,5 water too much every 5 days or a week? Is just that I do not have a green finger? Should I call it quits and offer them to someone with a garden (please say no to the last one).
I could not expect such a warm support and involvement. I am so grateful, you have no idea. Thank you! Chapeau!
