Morning dew sitting delicately on a vivid ā€˜Love Knotā€™. This rose was nearly dead when I bought it - itā€™s doing so well now!

Lots of healthy looking new shoots on one of my sick roses from Notcutts. Hopefully a step in the right direction to a full recovery and I will be able to treat with rose clear once the leaves fully unfurl.

Got this from the reduced section in Notcutts - it looks pretty sick. Does anyone have any idea what the discoloured red/yellow stem could be an indication of? It looks like it might have originated from broken thorns which I know can be an access point for disease! My guess would be rose cankerā€¦

It looks like Canker to me which is a fungal diseaseā€¦..Iā€™d cut that branch right back to stop it spreadingā€¦.👍🏼 Roses in pots are susceptible to disease Iā€™d get it in the groundā€¦👌🏼good luck
