  1. probably water it better (be sure not to flood it) and feed it. it is said that putting banana peels at the base of the bush helps it grow and be healthier!

    good luck!


  2. use some water solution, like water crystals or something, if your in the summer, prune away the brown and black stems.

    if your rose is happy where it is, should come back in no time at all,

    do not overwater, as that can also make your rose pretty sick too

  3. Gas and oil, and a lit match.Woohoo! Then have a party.

  4. Prune off all the dead branches. The rose bush will come back!

  5. Slighly  cut  back branches.  Then water slowly early am or late  pm. Allow it to slowly soak very deep.  I dig  trenches to keep water  from run off.  This  fall or when weather cools add rose  ferlize mixing  mixture  well around  plant in a  circle.  They  usually have  life  even when you think their  gone.  

  6. Cut the brown branches back to where there is still green wood left.  That's a trial-and-error process because sometimes the bark is brownish but there's still life inside the branch.  IF there's green wood found, cut it back another few inches if possible.   Also cut the green branches back a few inches.  

    Give a light feeding of fertilizer then water it every couple of days or so, when the soil is dry on top.  Don't drown it with too much water at a time.  

  7. pour some gas or oil on it =P
