Sick Double Delight Rose

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum as I am new to rose growing. For Christmas my wonderful partner literally bought me a rose garden - 4 beautiful rose bushes. Childrens Rose, Double Delight, Blue Moon and Camp David.

My Double Delight rose however seems very sick and I am not sure how to help it back to health. Firstly, it was not growing as well as the other and the root area always seemed very wet. All the leaves are gone except for one set at the very top. It has not grown at all since I planted it in December.

I have tried to attach a photo of its current state but I cannot figure out how to do that in this forum. I have removed it from the ground, the roots were white when I did this and it is now in a pot in my "rose hospital". Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. It has only flowered once and that's it. Again, my roses were purchased in December for my Christmas Present.

Hi Shazmn, you can't attach photos for week, it is the forum system, if you send them to me via my email( I am ADMIN on the forum) I will look at them and then repost to the forum, my email is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] Regards David.
