Roses love:

• south and southeast windows and balconies;
• nutritious soil;
• fresh air in the warm season;
• abundant watering during the active growing season (as the soil dries);
• fertilizing once a week during growth and flowering;
• transfer from a cramped pot to a more spacious one (if necessary).

They don't like roses:

• cold irrigation water;
• overheating in hot weather;
• leaving wilted flowers on the plant;
• injury to the roots if the earthen ball is destroyed during transplantation;
• the appearance of pests and diseases;
• warm winter.

Rules of care

1. Once you have bought a rose bush you like and brought it home, do not rush to replant it. Place the plant on an east or southeast window and let it get used to the new microclimate.
2. Roses are watered as often as the soil dries out. Watering is carried out with settled (at least 24 hours) ordinary tap water at room temperature.
3. Roses respond well to spraying their leaves. Spraying of roses is carried out in the evenings with cold boiled water or a solution of special fertilizers in cold boiled water. The underside of rose leaves is sprayed with a spray bottle that produces a misty spray. But you shouldn’t spray roses every day, even in summer.
4. As soon as the moon enters the growth phase, it is a good time to replant the plant. Transplanting roses from a container into a pot must be done carefully - without destroying the clod of earth or disturbing the roots. There are often white or gray granules of complex fertilizer on the roots of roses; these do not need to be removed or washed off. Before replanting, remove a small amount of old soil from the top of the earthen clod, carefully loosening and removing it without damaging the roots.
5. Roses need nutritious soil for good growth: a mixture of 4 parts turf, 4 parts humus soil and 1 part sand. When planting, granules of complex fertilizer must be added to such soil. If you do not have the opportunity to prepare the necessary components for the soil mixture, then roses can be planted in ready-made purchased soil.
6. A new rose pot should be larger than the container in which the plant was sold, at least 2-4 cm in diameter and 5-7 cm in height. You shouldn’t take a pot that’s too big either; The above-ground part of the plant should correspond to the volume of the pot as 1:1. If the pot is ceramic and completely new (nothing has grown there yet), then before planting the roses it is first soaked in warm water for 2 hours (this is especially necessary if the pot is unglazed). If something has already been grown in a pot, wash it well with a stiff brush in warm water, but without soap.
7. A drainage layer (preferably expanded clay) about 1 cm thick is placed on the bottom of the pot prepared for transplanting the rose. If the pot does not have a drain hole (and it is impossible to make this hole), then the drainage layer should be at least 3 cm. Earth mixed with fertilizer granules, then sprinkled with a layer of soil without fertilizer.

Care errors

Symptoms. The rosette dries up, sheds its leaves, the buds wither, the ends of the shoots turn brown and dry out.

Cause. Insufficient watering, low air humidity.

Treatment. Cut off all dead branches to a height of 3-4 cm from the main trunk, as well as all dry twigs and yellowed leaves. Water the rose, place the pot under a plastic bag to ensure high air humidity under the shelter. When new shoots appear, begin to ventilate the greenhouse and accustom the rose to dry air. If the rose has wilted but not shed its leaves, try soaking the entire pot in water for 5 minutes and spraying the plant, or even soaking the whole plant in a bathtub for 2 hours, wrapping the pot in a plastic bag. If symptoms appear in the fall, don't worry—the rose is preparing for winter.

Symptoms. The rosette dries up, sheds its leaves, the buds wither, the shoots turn brown and rot.

Cause. Too much watering, frequent spraying in a cold room.

Treatment. It is more difficult to revive a rose that has been “overwatered” than “underwatered.” You need to remove it from the pot, clean the roots from the soil and inspect them - if not all of them are rotten, cut off the damaged ones and replant the rose in new soil (the old one may be sour), water it moderately, but not allowing the coma to dry out completely.

Rules of care according to the seasons

Summer

In summer, caring for a rose consists of watering, spraying, fertilizing, and removing faded flowers (the peduncle is trimmed with pruners or a sharp knife to the first formed leaf bud). It is necessary to monitor the condition of the plant (so that the rose does not overheat; notice signs of diseases and emerging pests in time). If the rose is growing very quickly, and the chosen pot has become too small for it, wait until the moon grows and transfer the plant to a new, larger pot. If a rose stands on a window and is illuminated from one side, it, of course, reaches out to the sun. In order not to get a one-sided bush, the rose pot must be turned from time to time to ensure uniform illumination of the bush.

Autumn

In autumn, when the night temperature drops to 15-12 degrees, the rose from the balcony is moved into the room and placed on the windowsill of the south window. When the rose stops blooming and forming buds, it is prepared for wintering: water less frequently (leaving the soil dry for a day or two before watering) and stop feeding. If possible, for wintering the rose is placed on the windowsill of a cold room with a window (in winter the air temperature in it should not be higher than 15-17 degrees). In an ordinary apartment with central heating, options are possible: a rose is placed between the frames for the winter; or they don’t seal up the window on which the rose overwinters in the fall; or fence off from the rest of the room with plastic film the part of the window on which the rose overwinters. In any case, there should be no electrical or heating appliances (computer, TV, radiator, etc.) near the wintering rose.

Winter

Before placing a rose for the winter, it is usually pruned, leaving 5 live buds on each branch; leaves are not removed. Pruning is carried out when the moon is in its growth phase. If pruning is not carried out in the fall, then in the summer of next year the rose will bloom much later, the flowering will be less abundant, and the bush will not look very neat. If you did not prune the rose before wintering, pruning can be done in the spring.

In winter, the rose will not grow and bloom, but will shed its remaining leaves and look very sad; At this time, caring for the plant consists of rare watering (after the soil dries, water after 2-3 days) and spraying. When wintering a rose in a room with central heating, it is recommended to place the pot with the plant on a tray with wet pebbles or gravel and make sure that the stones are always wet - this will protect the rose from excessive dry air.

Spring

In spring, the rose appears new leaves and twigs. At this time, they begin to water it more abundantly; the dried soil remains dry for no more than one day until the next watering. At the beginning of growth, the rose must be fed with complete mineral fertilizer, or a solution of mullein or bird droppings.

• Mullein solution: place 1/3 mullein and 2/3 water in a container, close it and leave for 3-4 days, stirring occasionally. After fermentation stops, when the solution becomes lighter, it is ready (fermentation time depends on temperature, sometimes it takes 1.5 weeks). The prepared mullein solution is diluted with settled tap water in a ratio of 1:15 (one part of the solution to 15 parts of water) - the fertilizing is ready.
• Bird droppings solution: one part of bird droppings is poured with 200 parts of hot water and left for two days. The finished solution is diluted with settled water in a ratio of 1:25 (1 part solution to 25 parts water) and used for feeding.

The rose is fed after regular watering. To produce large flowers, as soon as the buds begin to form, the rose must be fed once a week. During the growth period, during the formation of buds, the rose should not lack moisture or light. The plant is placed in the brightest window, watered as the soil dries with settled water, and in the evenings it is sometimes sprayed with cold boiled water from a thin spray bottle. As soon as the plant has outgrown the pot, it must be transferred, without disturbing the roots, into a larger pot. It doesn’t matter what season of the year the rose is transplanted; If necessary, you can replant even in winter, but the moon must be in the growing phase.

When the spring frosts pass and warm night temperatures set in, it’s time to take the rose out to the balcony or garden. In the first weeks, the rose must be gradually accustomed to the bright sun. To do this, the plant is first placed in a shady corner of the balcony or garden and only after about two weeks is transferred to a sunny place. If there is no shady corner, use a “sliding shadow” from a sheet of thick paper with 8x2cm strips cut in a checkerboard pattern. Cover the rose with this leaf for 2-3 weeks.

Why do rose leaves fall off?

If a houseplant suddenly drops its leaves, this is usually the result of stress experienced by the plant. Stress for indoor flowers is a sharp change in air temperature, cold drafts, a sudden change in the level of illumination when, after a shaded place, you suddenly move the pot with the plant to a sunny windowsill. From the stress experienced, the flower begins to shed leaves, and even buds.

What to do if the leaves of indoor flowers fall off?

If your indoor flower's leaves are falling off, analyze whether you are watering it correctly. In winter and autumn, for example, most indoor plants only need to be watered once or twice a month.

What should you do if the leaves curl and turn red before they fall?

Curling and reddening of the leaves may be a result of your flower being burned by direct sunlight. In this case, move it to the shade, renew the top layer of soil in the pot, and spray the diseased flower with epinol.

What should I do if the leaves fall off green, but some of them seem to be wrinkled?

Most likely, these symptoms indicate that your plant has suffered from dry air or improper watering - too often or, conversely, too infrequent. In this case, regular spraying with water and revising the watering schedule in accordance with agrotechnical requirements will help. It is advisable to remove bare shoots, but even better is to replant the plant in fresh soil with fertilizer.

What to do if the leaves curl into tubes and fall off?

These are clear signs that the plant is frozen. Check if there are any drafts in the room. Another possible reason is constant waterlogging of the soil.

What to do if the lower leaves fall off?

If the plant sheds its lower leaves, and the leaves fall dry, then the flower is probably unevenly illuminated and there is not enough light for it. In addition, the cause may be dry soil or air temperature that is too high for the plant, or insufficient humidity.

What to do if a recently purchased flower drops its leaves?

Very often, indoor flowers after transplantation or when moving (from a store to your home, or even from room to room) experience stress and, as a result, shed their leaves. Don't worry if a few leaves have fallen, but if the leaves have started to fall, take immediate action. The normal acclimatization period for the plant lasts no more than two weeks.

What to do if buds and flowers fall off?

Typically, indoor plants shed buds and flowers in poor lighting, lack of moisture, or when the soil is oversaturated with nitrogen. Certain types of pests and lack of nutrition can also deprive your plant of flowers and buds. Examine the flower for unwanted guests and feed it.

Pests and diseases

1. . The main difficulty in caring for indoor roses is fighting this pest. It is almost impossible to avoid its appearance. To make the pest appear less often, you need to frequently spray the plants, bathe them in the shower, and maintain high air humidity. It is due to lack of moisture that the pest appears most often in autumn and winter. Roses that are kept in mini-greenhouses in winter get sick much less often.

Symptoms Mites appear on the underside of leaves and look like small individual dots of red, red or dark brown color. If you spray a rose and look very closely, you can see how they move. In addition to the dots, the larvae can be distinguished: they are light, white-green in color. The leaves of the rose are covered with dots, as if the thinnest cobweb appears on the shoots. Young leaves seem to be pricked by a needle, first turn yellow, then brown, and eventually fall off. First of all, the mite starts on young shoots.

Among the natural folk methods, garlic infusion helps: 170 g of finely chopped or grated garlic is infused in 1 liter of water for 5 days, in a tightly sealed container in a dark place. For spraying, prepare a solution: take 1 teaspoon and dilute it in a liter of water, add a few drops of ammonia. To treat diseased plants, tobacco infusion (a pack of cigarettes per liter of water) is also used. Let it sit for a day, then spray it so that it does not get on the soil. You can try dusting the bushes with dry mustard or wood ash.

1. Scale insect (or false scale insect).

Symptoms The leaves and stems are covered with brown plaques that can be easily separated with your hands; the plant sheds its leaves, does not bloom, and lags behind in development. Without treatment it dies.

Treatment. Any insecticidal preparations.

1. Beetles.

Symptoms The beetles gnaw holes in the leaves; in addition, the insect itself can often be found inside the flower, gnawing its way out.

Treatment. Actellik, pyrethrum, rotenone, preparations containing karbofos.

1. Pest. Caterpillars.

Symptoms Caterpillars can either gnaw small holes in leaves or gnaw them down to the ground.

Treatment. Collect and destroy the caterpillars or treat the plants with a preparation containing karbofos.

1. Cut aphids

Symptoms Colonies of small sucking insects; found on buds and young shoots, they are clearly visible. Affected buds and leaves become deformed, curl unnaturally, and dry out.

Treatment. Spraying with a soap solution (especially insecticidal soap) or tobacco infusion helps. Chemical preparations used include actellik (20 drops per liter of water), pyrethrum, rotenone, and preparations containing karbofos. If there are few aphids, you can bring and plant several ladybugs on the bushes, which feed on aphids. A solution of yarrow is used against aphids and spider mites. To prepare it, flowering yarrow is collected, dried, crushed, infused (pour 1/2 liter jar of dried herb with water) for 3-4 days, add a small piece of green soap and spray the plant.

Symptoms The pest eats young shoots and buds, the plant lags behind in development, the leaves are deformed. Females lay eggs under the bark of the plant.

Struggle. Treatment with fufanol or a preparation containing karbofos.

1. Disease. Dark spots

Symptoms A fungal disease that appears as small dark spots on the leaves; affected leaves turn yellow and fall off. Yellow roses are most susceptible to this disease.

Treatment. This disease develops in conditions of high humidity. Do not allow moisture to get on the leaves - water the ground, not the whole plant. Remove and destroy any infected leaves. Use fungicidal (antifungal) soap or other fungicidal products. Topsin or foundationol helps with spotting.

Symptoms The color of leaves, young shoots and buds becomes grayish, or they seem to be covered with white powder. Young leaves may even become deformed. Powdery mildew often appears when warm days are followed by cold nights.

Struggle. Cut and destroy any damaged parts of the plant. Treat with a fungicidal agent or benomyl.

1. Disease. Mold.

Symptoms. The lower part of the trunk and shoots are covered with a white coating. Mold can be on the surface of the soil in the pot, its bottom. The leaves become stained and dry out. Without treatment, the plant rots and dies.

Struggle. Fungicidal drug, avoid excessive soil moisture, too frequent fertilization, ventilate the room more often.

1. Disease. Bacterial cancer, viral infection.

Symptoms. A viral infection manifests itself in the form of yellow stripes or spots on the leaves, which appear at the beginning of the season; with viral cancer, the roots and lower part of the plant begin to rot.

Struggle. If a viral infection is suspected, dig up the plant and destroy it. Plant new roses in new soil away from the infected area. There are no suitable chemical control agents.

What will save a rose from pests?

R Oza is treated with two types of drugs:

insecticides - against insects (fitoverm, actelik), fungicides - against fungal diseases (quadris, chorus, ridomil). There are also mixed preparations. Dosages are indicated in the instructions. For indoor conditions, fitoverm, for example, is more acceptable because it is less toxic. You can also use the same preparations that you usually use to treat tomatoes in the country against late blight. But reduce the dosage by half. Try to buy licensed drugs.

The rose surpasses other flowers in beauty, tenderness, impregnable thorns and wonderful aroma. Persia is considered its homeland. In our climate zone, some varieties of roses can be planted in open ground, while others are suitable only for indoor keeping. She is capricious and demanding, and if not properly cared for she can get sick. at the rose, and how to help the wayward beauty?

Flower garden on the windowsill

In flower shops you can buy charming miniature roses of any color. As a rule, the splendor of bushes is achieved by planting several plants in one pot at once. Unfortunately, roses at home can quickly lose their attractiveness: the shoots wither, the foliage turns yellow, and the buds fall off.

What causes premature wilting and why do rose leaves fall off? Growers plant the plants in small pots filled with a mixture of special soil and fertilizer. Already in the store, the roots begin to suffer from lack of space, the earthen ball quickly dries out, and the supply of nutrients runs out. This can lead to severe oppression of the bushes, and even to their death.

The main reason why rose leaves fall is a sudden change in lighting and temperature conditions. The plant is under stress and needs to get used to the new conditions. Roses love direct sunlight, coolness and fresh air. If they get this, they will be able to grow and develop in their new home.

Another reason is drying out of the soil. The flower must be watered well. As soon as the store rose has faded, it needs to be transplanted into a larger pot in good nutritious soil. To maintain humidity, it is necessary to spray the plant with settled water. They don't like roses and overflow. They need good drainage; there should be no stagnation of water at the roots.

Garden roses

To successfully grow healthy bushes with long-lasting flowering, you need to plant flowers in sunny areas with good air circulation. There can be many reasons why rose leaves fall in the open ground: errors in care, infectious diseases, pest invasion.

Pests

Garden roses have many enemies among insects. In dry weather, the leaves can be attacked by the rose cicada and they feed on the sap from the lower surface of the leaves, causing them to dry out. They spread very quickly throughout the rose garden, so at the first sign of insects it is necessary to start spraying with herbal infusions or insecticides.

Fertilizer application

Roses need a lot of minerals and trace elements. Lack of nutrients can lead to the development of diseases.

1. Chlorosis: Occurs due to magnesium deficiency. It affects old leaves first, then young ones. The edges remain green, and yellow and red dead spots appear between the veins. Then the leaves fall off. To eliminate chlorosis, plants must be fed with magnesium sulfate.
2. Nitrogen deficiency. Leaves turn light green or yellow and their growth slows or stops. The problem usually occurs in early summer. To correct the situation, nitrogen fertilizers must be applied.
3. Iron deficiency. The surface of young leaves turns yellow, but the veins remain green. Often occurs on limed soils. To replenish the missing element, you need to treat the plants with a solution of iron sulfate or apply a complex fertilizer.
4. Manganese deficiency manifests itself in a similar way, but affects the old leaves first. It is necessary to add potassium permanganate or

Infections

The most common infectious disease is black spot. Markings appear on both leaves and petioles. Yellow areas form around them. They grow, causing the entire leaf to turn yellow and fall off. Spread by spores in warm, humid weather. Weakened, bare plants do not tolerate winter well, so infection must be combated.

Affected leaves and plant debris should be raked and burned, and the plants should be treated with fungicides.

This plant is most suitable for growing at home. Then why do the leaves of an indoor rose turn yellow if it is surrounded by care and cared for correctly? There are a sufficient number of factors that contribute to this. However, they are often ignored.

For full growth and development, decorative roses require abundant watering, fertilizing and timely replanting.

The rose is a finicky plant; even the wrong location of the flower leads to undesirable consequences, and it has to be saved from death. Temperature conditions, fertilizing, and proper watering will help keep your indoor plant healthy. You need to avoid possible problems with the plant at the time of purchase by choosing a healthy flower without visible signs of yellowness or redness on the foliage.

Reasons to consider

The most common mistake is to place the flower indoors where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

In this case, the rose gets sunburn. It is because of this that the leaves of the rose turn yellow.

It is best to find a place for the plant in the fresh air, for example, on a balcony, terrace, veranda or near an open window. This flower tolerates humid air well. If it is in a dry room, then spraying must be done every day. On particularly hot summer days, it is best to do this in the morning or evening. However, if the plant is in a cool place where the air humidity level is appropriate, then it does not need to be sprayed. It is recommended to wipe off accumulated dust on the leaves once a week.

Spider mites infect plant leaves, taking away cell sap.

Indoor rose leaves may turn yellow due to lack of nutrients. Foliage with yellow veins or a pale green color always indicates a nitrogen deficiency. A small amount of nitrogen and potassium leads not only to the yellowness of the foliage, but also to the appearance of spots on them. Yellow leaves with green veins are a sign of a disease called chlorosis. For treatment and prevention, a water-soluble fertilizer, antichlorosine, is used.

Causes of yellowing rose leaves (what to do)

The flower should be sprayed with fertilizer 2 times during the plant growth period. Then as needed, every 2 weeks.

A lack of nutrients also leads to the leaves of indoor roses turning red. A lack of nitrogen depletes the flower, it becomes painful, and the green foliage disappears. The leaves also turn red due to a lack of phosphorus and magnesium. To treat the plant, water-soluble complex fertilizers are used, which must be purchased at a specialized store.

If the rose is not fertilized on time, then frequent flowering leads to its depletion, which is one of the reasons for yellowing of the leaves. Under good conditions, the plant blooms throughout the year, once every 8 weeks. In the cold season, it is necessary to give the indoor rose a rest. To do this, you need to prune and put the flower in a cool place for a while so that it has the strength to bloom again. Yellow and wrinkled leaves, weak shoots, and fading flowers are cut off.

Sickness of indoor plants

A rose will only get sick if it is cared for incorrectly or if care is neglected altogether. Yellowing, redness and wilting of foliage in some cases indicate the presence of a disease. Most often these can be the following problems: rust, thrips, powdery mildew and a disease associated with plant damage by spider mites.

Rust affects young shoots and leaves. It looks like yellow tubercles on the shoots and orange spots on the underside of the leaf. Then yellow and red spots appear on the upper side of the leaf, growing over its entire surface. Rust may appear if the rose is in an unventilated area, the soil is too waterlogged, or the air temperature is not normal. For treatment, first of all, it is necessary to remove all shoots affected by rust, treat it with a fungicide solution and begin proper care of the rose.

Improper watering can cause the foliage system to turn yellow. It is extremely undesirable to allow the soil to dry out. The flower is watered as the top layer of soil in the pot dries out. Roses should not be watered with cold water; the water in the pan should not stagnate either. You can water either into the tray or from above. If the air is too dry and the temperature is too high, thrips can infect the plant. In this case, the upper side of the leaves acquires a yellow tint with a silvery sheen. In especially severe cases, the foliage turns brown and falls off. For complete recovery, the rose needs to be sprayed with a solution of insecticides, and an optimal temperature regime must be created.

Powdery mildew is a fungal plant disease. The reasons for the appearance lie in the lack of fresh air, excess fertilizer, excessive heat and moisture. In case of damage, the upper surface of the leaf becomes covered with yellow or red spots. Leaves may curl and fall off. Firstly, it is necessary to remove absolutely all affected leaves and shoots of the rose. Secondly, as in the case of rust control, the flower is treated with a fungicide solution.

Sometimes the leaves of a rose that lives in one place for a long time begin to turn yellow. This flower is difficult to care for, and yellowing can be caused by various reasons. To cure a plant, you need to know why this happens and how to return the flower to its previous appearance. Beautiful roses growing on a windowsill are the dream of any gardener. But sometimes this plant suddenly begins to hurt. Here are several reasons why rose leaves turn yellow.

Why do rose leaves turn yellow?

Most often, yellowing of foliage is caused by the following reasons:

• Lack of mineral fertilizers. Depending on what the plant lacks, it turns yellow in different ways. When a crop needs nitrogen feeding, it turns yellow completely, starting from the lower leaves. Application of universal fertilizers or urea can help. If a rose lacks iron, it begins to turn yellow in spots - from top to bottom. In this case, any acidifying fertilizer will do.
• Excess feeding. Excess mineral fertilizers can also lead to leaf fall. When the flower is weakened and you want to feed it, it is better to start with half the dose, otherwise you can burn the roots.
• Pests and diseases. One of the most common diseases is chlorosis. You can fight it with the help of Antichlorosin, which dissolves well in water. The plant is watered with it twice during the growth period, and then once every two weeks, if necessary.
• Excessive humidity. Although roses love moisture, excess is harmful to it, otherwise it will begin not only to turn yellow, but also to rot. Finding a middle ground is not difficult - it is enough to provide good drainage and water the plant as soon as the top layer begins to dry out. In addition, it is useful to spray it with warm water from a spray bottle.

A common cause of yellowing foliage is improper replanting of flowers.

This should be done once a year, preferably in February. The pot should be taken a little larger each time. When replanting, they use the transshipment method, but very carefully so as not to damage the roots. Then the culture is transferred to heat.

Diseases and pests

Rose is a delicate plant, so it is susceptible to various diseases. This is, for example, powdery mildew, the symptoms of which are loss of color and falling leaves. If the climate in the room is incorrect, the crop may be affected by fungus.

Often the leaves begin to wither and fade if larvae have appeared in the root system. Since they multiply quickly and can destroy the plant, an insecticide has to be used. After a month, re-treatment is carried out.

Malnutrition

If diseases and pests are not detected, but the rose continues to turn yellow, the cause may be a lack of nutrients. By the color of the leaves you can understand what the bush is missing and feed it.

It is especially important to fertilize the plant during the flowering period. If this is not done, the buds will be sparse and the leaves will be yellow and limp.

Improper watering

If you water your flowers incorrectly, you can seriously harm them. Cold water should not be used to water roses. As a result, the bush becomes sick, stops growing and dies over time. The water should be soft and settled. Some gardeners advise boiling it.

The frequency of watering can be selected according to the condition of the soil in the pot. If its top layer begins to crack, moisturizing is necessary. Mature plants are watered two or three times a week. In the summer heat, you can water them more often and install a humidifier in the room.

Other reasons

In addition to the above reasons, other factors can cause yellowing:

• High room temperature or lack of light.
• Sunburn. The appearance of yellow and brown spots on the leaves may indicate spraying with cold water in the sun or excess sunlight. If this happens, the pot needs to be rearranged.
• Drafts are the main enemies of indoor flowers. If the plant freezes, it will begin to turn yellow and drop its leaves. A screen made of paper or plastic can help to protect the crop.

There are also varieties of roses in which yellowing of the leaves is a signal of preparation for winter, so a change in color does not always indicate illness or the appearance of pests - do not panic. If, when buying such a beauty as an indoor rose, you learn all the rules for caring for it, it will be much less capricious.

The rose is rightly called the queen of the garden. However, potted crops rightfully occupy a place of honor in any flower garden. As befits a queen, she is capricious and demanding. She will not give away her beauty if she doesn’t like something. A common sign of dissatisfaction is yellowing of the leaves. In extreme cases, the leaves become smaller, dry out and fall off. The branches gradually die off. The risk of losing a beauty increases.

Why do rose leaves turn yellow? Common causes are lack of nutrients and improper living conditions. Sometimes roses are affected by pests and diseases. To find a specific problem, you need to study the appearance of the plant and analyze your actions.

Sources of abnormal yellowness

We exclude the natural cycle of plant development, natural aging and death of leaves. In front of us is a young bush. The causes of yellowing can be grouped into several groups.

Battery deficiency

This is the most common cause of problems. To maintain its beauty, the plant needs a balanced diet. Why do rose leaves turn red, become speckled, dry out and fall off? We will look for the answer in “feeding”.

Nitrogen deficiency

Roses experience nitrogen starvation most often. Either we planted it in initially poor soil, or we did not feed it well enough throughout the season. Perhaps they applied fertilizer in the spring, it bloomed beautifully, consumed all the nitrogen, but no one replenished the supply. The result is August leaf fall. Untimely and unwanted.

Signs of nitrogen deficiency:

1. The leaves turn pale and yellow from the middle veins. Yellowing begins from the bottom of the bush. Gradually goes up. At this time, the lower leaves fall off.

2. Young shoots turn yellow. They grow pale and lose their natural dark purple hue. The leaves on young shoots also abound in yellowish colors.

Nitrogen starvation is not difficult to eliminate.

1. Urea is suitable as an ambulance. A tablespoon of urea must be diluted in a bucket of water. Pour half a bucket under each bush. You can water directly over the leaves. After a couple of days, the positive effect will be noticeable.

And in a week the rose will turn green.

2. Subsequently, it is necessary to periodically feed the beauty with complex fertilizer.

Potassium deficiency

Signs:

• marginal yellowing of the leaf;
• the leaves gradually turn brown and dry out;
• there is spotting of greenery.

1) application of ash and potash fertilizers;
2) feeding with complex fertilizers.

Iron and manganese deficiency

This usually happens when the beauty is planted in alkaline soil rich in chalk. Either a lot of lime was added when planting the bush. With a lack of iron, yellowing begins with young leaves, manganese - with old ones.

Features of deficiency of these elements:

• the leaves turn yellow between the veins and are covered with yellow spots;
• the veins remain green.

1) Spray the bush with any fertilizer containing the necessary microelements (for example, iron chelate).

2) A little acidify the soil. Make a hole on one side of the plant with a stick. Pour a quarter of a bucket of organic matter into it.

3) To strengthen the immune system, treat the bush with Epin, for example.

The plant suffers not only from a lack of nutrients, but also from an excess of fertilizers. If the leaves on roses turn white and become covered with unhealthy spots, then the reason may be “overeating.”

Waterlogging of the soil

Sometimes this happens in rainy years with garden beauties planted in low-lying clay areas.

The root system of the rose is in damp soil for too long - the leaves begin to turn yellow.

How to recognize overwatering?

a) analyze the soil around the plants.

b) the leaves turn yellow from below (as if there is a lack of nitrogen), but the application of nitrogen-containing fertilizers does not help.

And now, when the plant is already suffering from waterlogging, do not water for a while and loosen the soil more often so that the moisture evaporates from it.

Diseases and pests

The leaves of the beauty may respond to the disease by yellowing. If a fungal infection occurs, the bush can be saved. In case of viral diseases, it is recommended to remove the plant from the site and destroy it.

How to cure a yellowed rose

Unfortunately.

A common fungal infection is black spot.

Its signs:

• yellowing of leaves;
• the appearance of dark spots with rounded or irregular edges.

The disease depletes the bush. The affected rose tolerates wintering worse, grows and blooms poorly. Any systemic fungicide will help cope with black spot. But it’s better to take preventive measures: periodically spray the rose somewhere from mid-June.

If the leaves not only turn yellow and wither, then perhaps there is a pest in the root system. Any insecticide will help drive it out.

A beautiful well-groomed rose garden in the front garden is the pride of any housewife. Due to the duration and frequency of flowering, roses have become quite popular ornamental crops. However, even the most resistant varieties can develop diseases as a result of exposure to weather conditions, pests and errors during cultivation. And in some situations you can observe how the leaves of a rose turn yellow - what to do in such cases?

Selecting fertilizers

Changes in the color of the leaf mass of a plant can occur due to a lack or excess of fertilizers. Since at different periods of development the crop needs different nutrients and the lack of even one element becomes the reason why the leaves of the rose turn yellow.

The main microelements that have a strong influence on the development of the rose bush:

• Nitrogen. This type of fertilizer is necessary for increased growth and accumulation of vegetative mass. Its lack makes the leaves first light green, after which the rose turns yellow and its leaf mass begins to fall off prematurely. In this case, the formation of short thin shoots, slow growth and weak flowering are observed. At the same time, the decorative value of the bush is sharply reduced. An excess of this microelement is characterized by rapid vegetation and decreased winter hardiness.
• Phosphorus. If its quantity is insufficient, the development of both the ground part and the root part of the bush is delayed. Therefore, the leaves of the rose turn yellow and subsequently fall off. With an excess of phosphorus, the rose begins to become very woody, which leads to its premature aging.
• Potassium. For the full formation of buds and shoots, the flower needs potassium and phosphorus. The maximum amount of consumption of these microelements is achieved during flowering and outflow into new shoots. Potassium starvation contributes to the appearance of yellow spots and browning on the leaves. As a result, they die off, and the development of the bush slows down sharply.
• Lack of iron can cause chlorosis. A symptom of this disease is the appearance of yellow spots on the leaf, after which all the leaves of the rose turn yellow and fall off.

Timely application of complex fertilizers and preventive spraying with biostimulants such as Epin or Zircon will help to avoid such problems.

Diseases and pests that cause rose leaves to turn yellow

Also, the reason why the leaves of a garden rose turn yellow are various pests, both obvious and hidden. Very often on its leaves you can find fungal diseases that arise on a healthy bush and form a mycelium there. Experience shows that viruses are usually transmitted from new plants or through contaminated garden tools.

Roses turn yellow due to the following infectious diseases:

• Black spot.
• Mosaic.
• Powdery mildew, ordinary or downy mildew.
• Rust.

To avoid the appearance of infectious diseases, it is recommended to carry out preventive measures in the spring, which should include treating the bushes and the soil around them with special means.

Newly purchased plants should be soaked in a fungicidal solution before planting, which will prevent the development of an infectious disease, if any.

Also, the leaves of a rose may turn yellow if it is attacked by pests:

• Spider mite. Appears as small white grains on the inside of the leaf.
• Rose leafhopper. This insect is easy to notice from the underside of the leaf, as it is yellow in color and up to 4 mm in size.
• May beetle larvae. In this case, the rose not only turns yellow, but also quickly fades.

Spraying with special insecticides will help get rid of fungal diseases and pests.

Replanting an indoor rose after purchase is necessary if the pot is too small for it - in this case, the flower is carefully removed from the old flower garden along with the soil, the brown and black roots are removed (the healthy color of rose roots is white), rotten parts, then the plant is placed in a new pot with properly selected soil. The soil for roses can be prepared independently; for this you will need:

• Compost;
• Leaf humus;
• Soil from under coniferous trees;
• Turf soil;
• Clean sand.

The listed components are mixed in a ratio of 1:1:1:3:1, the soil mixture is poured into the flower garden on top of the drainage. The rose is placed in a new pot along with an old lump of earth, firmly fixed and watered with warm water. It is recommended to treat the newly transplanted plant with a drug to enhance immunity - this is optimal.

A certain temperature regime should be maintained in the room (+18 °C...+25 °C), and in the warm season it is recommended to take the rose out into the fresh air - to the balcony or to the garden, this will help it develop fully. In the room where the rose lives, regular ventilation should be carried out, but the formation of drafts should be avoided.

An indoor rose, caring for which at home involves regular spraying all year round, loves moisture, but it should only be watered with settled, non-cold water, and if the plant is located near heating devices, it is better to place the pot in a tray with moistened expanded clay.

The flower will be grateful to you for feeding; it is better to do this with special complex products for roses once every 15-20 days. The frequency of feeding can be reduced when the rose looks healthy.

To form a beautiful rose bush, the plant must be periodically pruned - this procedure should be optimally scheduled for spring, removing dried and painful branches, dry inflorescences, as well as branches that have grown over the winter period and spoil the shape of the crown.

Indoor rose - care at home, basic rules and features

There may be several reasons why a rose in a pot dies - most often this happens due to non-compliance with the basic rules for caring for an ornamental plant.

Roses tend to dry out, and this can happen at any time of the year, and in order to know how to save a dried indoor rose, you should establish the reason for its poor health:

• Damage to the root system of the plant, as a result of which nutrients do not reach the flower;
• Improperly organized watering and low indoor humidity;
• The presence of a heating device next to the flower bed.

To fix the problem, the pot with the rose must be removed from the radiator or stove and placed in a tray with damp expanded clay, then check the soil moisture level and water if necessary. Don't forget to spray the rose. If the above resuscitation methods do not help, the rose must be removed from the pot and its roots examined - if they are damaged, the flower may die. In this case, it is optimal to cut several cuttings from the bush for further propagation of the rose, since it will not be possible to restore the dead root system.

If yellowness appears, check the soil in the pot - if it is too moist, watering should be stopped immediately, replacing it with spraying, and if the soil is completely acidified, the rose can be replanted; it is better to use soil for roses purchased in a store, but soil from the garden will not benefit the plant. Try giving a yellowing rose a dose of fertilizer - this flower is very responsive to preparations such as Greenworld and BonaForte.

Follow these simple tips, and your indoor rose, which requires care at home, will delight you with beautiful lush blooms.
