Although beautiful, rose bushes can be difficult to care for. While rose bushes often die from lack of proper care, there are numerous diseases and pests that also can affect your roses.
Identification
If your rose bushes' basic needs are not satisfied, they will begin to die. Roses need sunlight for at least five hours per day and well-drained soil to survive.
Diseases and Pests
A myriad of pests and diseases also could affect your rose bushes. Roses are susceptible to powdery mildew and black spot, as well as pests such as leafcutter bees, aphids and spider mites, which weaken the plant's immune system.
Considerations
Different cultivars of roses grow best in different U.S. Department of Agriculture hardiness zones. Before purchasing a rose bush, make sure it is appropriate for your region.
