Golden Celebration Rose Bush Flowers Droop

Question From: r. humphreys - Bromley, , United Kingdom
Q: my golden celebration rose bush when the buds flower they droop not like my other bushes the roses are upright and full

A: Your rose may be suffering from one of several diseases. Botrytis blight damages buds causing them to droop. Begin by pruning off infected stems and discard them in a garbage bag. Be sure to disinfect the pruners with rubbing alcohol after every cut. You may then decided to treat the rose with a fungicide. Ask at your local independent garden center for recommendations and follow the directions carefully. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy.
