Message: [QUOTE="Meadowlark, post: 303668, member: 7117"] Howdy again [USER=9460]@nellie923[/USER] It has been unmercifully hot for roses and mine are suffering as a result. It looked to me like in picture 4 that plant is in a pot that restricts the plants' ability to take up water and that is especially problematic in this heat. It looks to me that it needs a larger pot. That would definitely help enabling the plant to adsorb water and would give the roots which are probably very tight in there some room to function better. Dormancy is the best time to do that not now...but if you find the water just running through the pot and/or roots growing out the drainage holes you may have to take action. I wouldn't repot now but if you have to you have to. The worst of summer is quickly getting behind us and better temps will be coming soon. [/QUOTE]
