Frequently asked gardening related questions
Dieback on roses is when branches or stems start to die from the tip backwards, often turning black or brown. It can be caused by various factors including disease (e.g., canker), frost damage, drought stress, overwatering, or physical injury. To prevent it, ensure good growing conditions, proper drainage, and avoid over-fertilising. Prune out any affected stems promptly by cutting back to healthy, green wood below the dieback, disinfecting your tools between cuts.
