@Snicks1, good luck bringing your roses back to health.  It's so good of the experts to provide advice.  I don't have one rose in my garden so I have no advice but hope you have success.  LM

Thanks for the fungicide suggestions!  I have used it on my hydrangeas time to time. 

 

A few weeks ago I had to use an insecticide on my knockout rose bush to get rid of a few APHIDS!   EEK!   (aphids love roses as much as deer)

 

I have been using crushed up egg shells along with Miracle Grow flower food crystals I mix in water for about 2weeks. Now I am having a lot of new leaf growth along with rose buds and blooms.

 

I believe there may be something to this  EGG SHELL theory ??

 

Sometimes I do get a few of those horrid yellow leaves, I pick/clip  them off. 

 

Keep Calm and Garden On,

@gacat123 Oh, goodness, aphids can be a nightmare!  Glad you got to them in time!  That egg shell theory sounds like it's working.  I think I will try.  I have some Miracle Grow crystals.  We eat eggs quite a bit, but I usually throw out the shells.  Thanks for the tip! 😊
