Yellow leaves with spots on a rose plant, it's on the verge of death, how to save it

Yellow leaves and spots have appeared on the rose leaves, what is causing this? Let's take a look together! Last night a gardening friend came to ask me about rose leaf problems again, this time it was about Eden Rose. As a classic European climbing rose, Eden Rose's pink flower series makes many people fascinated. Among common roses, Eden Rose can be considered a relatively noble rose. Everyone who loves beauty wants to grow a few of them, but if this kind of yellow leaf appears, what should be done?

Analysis: Looking at the leaf condition, the leaf veins are yellowing, and the entire leaf has a yellowing problem. Spots appear on the leaf edges, and these spots feel like sunburn.

Question: What is causing this kind of rose leaf problem?

Answer: For rose leaves like this, I think it needs to be analyzed and solved from the following points.

Nutrient deficiency problem

This is because the soil lacks trace elements, and the leaves have not received supplementation either. Secondly, the heavy use of chemical fertilizers causes nutrient deficiency yellow leaves in green plants.

Solution:

Use a two-pronged approach, foliar spraying + watering can solve it. Use a good organic nutrient solution or chelated trace elements, with an interval of 7 days per application. General yellow leaves will slowly turn green, but severe ones will not.

Watering problem

Long-term excessive watering can easily lead to water accumulation in the pot soil, causing oxygen deficiency and root rot. This watering problem is a commonly discussed issue, and beginners are very likely to "make mistakes" in care. Many people water habitually without considering the moisture below 5cm of soil. It is recommended that roses in early autumn still need to be managed as in summer, watering once every 4 days is enough.

Soil problem

Choosing soil with poor breathability + unscientific watering makes many people fall into this trap. There are only 2 ways to solve this: control watering and replace with good soil. We all know that roses prefer slightly acidic soil; choosing soil with good breathability and high nutrients can reduce the frequency of soil replacement and accelerate the growth of roses in early autumn. Thus achieving a full pot of blooms.

Secondly, the spots seen are actually caused by pests. The picture below is similar to the damage of small green caterpillars, not thrips or aphids, and can be treated by spraying once with a common insecticide. When choosing rose seedlings, everyone should pay attention to leaf diseases.

The gardening friend finally pulled out the root system and cleaned it thoroughly, finding that the root problem was not serious. But there were few new fine roots, mostly old roots. This indicates poor root vitality, so it can basically be determined that the yellow leaves are caused by poor roots + nutrient deficiency. Adjusting with a good nutrient solution for 15 days can solve it.

Alright, this is an analysis and solution for yellow rose leaves. If you find it helpful, please give it a like!
