For rose growers and enthusiasts, there is nothing more heartbreaking than seeing their beloved rose bush dying. Before you uproot this tiny creature and throw it away, there are a few steps you can take to restore it to its original splendor, as long as the rosebush isn’t completely dead. To do this, you need to regularly care for the area around the tree, prune, water and fertilize periodically. If you take good care of your rose bush, you may be able to save it.
Steps
Pull up weeds and remove dead parts of the plant

Scrape off the bark on a rose branch to make sure the tree is not completely dead. Cut a branch near the base of the rose plant, then carefully scrape off the outer bark on the branch. If there is still green under the bark, your persimmon tree is still alive and has the ability to recover. If it’s brown underneath the bark, the plant is dead, and you’ll have to plant a new rose bush. [1] X Research Source
- Break a few branches on the rose bush. If you can break it easily then most likely the rosebush is dead. If the branches are still flexible, the tree still has a chance to survive.

Clear away dead flowers and leaves around. Dead flowers and fallen leaves can infect rose bushes. You need to cut the dead petals and dead leaves around the rose bush, throw it away or make compost. [2] X Research Source
- Do not use infected plants as compost due to the risk of spreading the pathogen to other plants.
- Fallen leaves and flowers usually appear in the fall.

Pull up all the weeds around the rose bush. Weeds and other plants that grow around rose bushes can suck up nutrients in the soil and leave the rose bush debilitated by lack of nutrients. Pull out any weeds you see in your garden with your hands or dig them up with a garden spade. [3] X Research Sources
- You might also consider using mulch to prevent new weeds from growing in your garden or yard. [4] X Research Sources
- Leave no weed roots, or they may continue to grow.

Cut off dead or infected flowers. If there are spots or discoloration on flowers and leaves, it is a sign that they are sick or about to die. You can remove dead flowers and leaves by hand or prune them with scissors. If left unattended on the tree, dead or infected flowers and leaves can spread to the rest of the plant. [5] X Research Sources
- Common diseases on rose plants are black spot, powdery mildew, and fungal ulcer disease.
Pruning rose bushes
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2b/Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save- a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2b/Save-a-Dying-Rose- Bush-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Prune away rose bushes after the last frost. Prune rose bushes as soon as the weather starts to warm up – usually right after the end of the last frost so that the rose bushes are not damaged by the cold. During this time, the young shoots of the plant begin to sprout. [6] X Research Sources
- You can time the last frost using the Old Farmer’s Almanac website. Enter your zip code at https://www.almanac.com/gardening/frostdates.
- Check for signs of new shoots on the plant, newly sprouted buds are red.
- For most gardeners, this also means pruning the tree in early spring.
- Pruning dead and excess branches will help rose bushes grow healthier.

Use sharp and sterile scissors to cut the plant. Wipe the scissors with ethane or isopropyl alcohol to disinfect them before starting pruning. This step helps prevent disease transmission to the plant. [7] X Research Sources
- Make sure the scissors are sharp; Otherwise, you may hurt the rose bush.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/eb/Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save- a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/eb/Save-a-Dying-Rose- Bush-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cut branches at a 45-degree angle above the shoots that are growing outwards. Cut just above the shoots or thorns that are growing outward. Avoid cross-cutting, but cut diagonally at a 45-degree angle to help the branch heal faster and prevent water from pooling on the cut. [8] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/cc/Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save- a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/cc/Save-a-Dying-Rose- Bush-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cut dead or infected branches. Cut off all dead and apparently unhealthy branches to prevent spreading the disease to the whole tree. You need to cut these branches close to the base. Infected branches are often spotted, wilted, or wilted. [9] X Research Source
- You can tell if the branches are dead or diseased if there are dead leaves on the branches, and the branches look “wooden,” with characteristics such as dryness and browning.
- When cut, the core inside the dead branches will be brown instead of green.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/26/Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save- a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/26/Save-a-Dying-Rose- Bush-Step-9-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-9-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Cut off branches that are intersecting and facing outwards. You need to prune off branches that cross each other or those that grow outward. When the branches around the tree are pruned, the tree will be exposed to more sun. A healthy and lush rose bush usually has 4-7 upright branches.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ee/Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save- a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ee/Save-a-Dying-Rose- Bush-Step-10-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-10-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Prune the top of the plant so that the remaining height of the rose bush is 45 cm. You should cut the tops of the plants in early spring. This will help the rose bush to grow and bloom the following season. Trim all the branches that grow up so that the bush is only about 45 cm tall. [10] X Research Source
Fertilize rose bushes
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e4/Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save- a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e4/Save-a-Dying-Rose- Bush-Step-11-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-11-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Buy the right fertilizer. You should buy a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer in granular or liquid form. This fertilizer will add nutrients to the soil and should be applied every four weeks during the growing season, or in early spring. [11] X Research Source
- You can also make your own plant nutrient powder by mixing 1 cup (240 ml) bone meal or superphosphate, 1 cup (240 ml) cottonseed meal, ½ cup (120 ml) blood meal, ½ cup (120 ml) ) fish meal, and ½ cup (120 ml) of epsom salt (magnesium sulfate).
- Find a fertilizer specifically made for roses at a gardening center. This fertilizer will provide the right minerals and nutrients to the rose plant’s needs.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5e/Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save- a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5e/Save-a-Dying-Rose- Bush-Step-12-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-12-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Water the soil before and after fertilizing. Use a garden hose to saturate the soil with water before applying fertilizer. This will help prevent the fertilizer from burning the plants. [12] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/03/Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save- a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-13-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/03/Save-a-Dying-Rose- Bush-Step-13-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-13-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Fertilize the base of the plant according to the instructions on the package. Spread the fertilizer evenly around the rose bush all the way to the outer ring of the potting soil. Fertilize around the base of the plant, but do not touch the main trunks of the bush. [13] X Research Source
- Leaves can burn and wilt when in direct contact with fertilizer.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a9/Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-14-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save- a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-14-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a9/Save-a-Dying-Rose- Bush-Step-14-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-14-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Start fertilizing when the young shoots emerge. Most gardeners will fertilize rose bushes in early spring; however, if you notice young shoots appearing on the tree, you can start fertilizing the plant, even if it’s a bit early. Your rose bush will need more nutrients while it is growing and budding.
- During the strongest growing season of the plant, you need to fertilize every 4-6 weeks.
Spread mulch and water the rose bushes
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/98/Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Save- a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/98/Save-a-Dying-Rose- Bush-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Spread a layer of mulch about 2.5-5 cm thick around the rose bush. You can buy organic or inorganic mulch online or at garden supply stores. Spread a layer of mulch around the rose bush, leaving a 2.5 cm gap around the base of the plant. [14] X Research Source
- Do not apply mulch around the base of the tree.
- Mulch will better hold moisture in the soil, while also preventing weeds from growing.
- Organic mulch includes shavings, straw, grass clippings and leaves.
- Inorganic coating materials include gravel, stone and glass.
- Replace or add organic mulch once a year in early summer.

Cover with cardboard if there is a weed problem. Cardboard mulch can tackle weeds. Apply this material over the entire flowerbed, then spread another layer of mulch. This will prevent the weed seeds from being exposed to the sun and germinating. [15] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/b8/Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Save- a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/b8/Save-a-Dying-Rose- Bush-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Save-a-Dying-Rose-Bush-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Water the rose plant when the soil is dry. Water the soil well if it doesn’t rain every week in your area, or you grow your roses in pots. Water so that the soil layer about 5-7.5 cm thick on the surface must be moist. You can test by poking your finger in the topsoil; If it feels dry, it means the soil is in need of watering.
- Roses will wilt and dry out if not watered properly.

Water plants early in the morning or after sunset. If you water at midday when it’s sunny, streaks of water will stay on the plant. Moreover, the water will evaporate very quickly and have no chance to seep into the soil. [16] X Research Source
