Yes, planting roses too close together is a common cause of problems. Overcrowding leads to poor air circulation, creating a humid microclimate around the foliage that is ideal for the development and spread of fungal diseases like black spot, powdery mildew, and rust. It also increases competition for light, water, and nutrients, weakening the plants and making them more susceptible to pests. Always follow recommended spacing guidelines for the mature size of your chosen rose varieties.
