Hi there-

I recently bought a rose bush and he has been having a bit of trouble with blooming: the new blooms turn a dark ruby red and fall off without blooming. I thought perhaps it was an issue with watering (because the base of the blooms were also drooping), but increasing his watering did not help. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Fredrick - is it a knockout or regular rose bush. There is a virus attacking knockouts. If you get the virus, you need to pull up the rose bush and burn it.
