Hi I have a rambling rose currently flowering. Whole of the plant looks healthy and no visible issues except last couple of days some of the buds (see picture) have been dropping off. The rambler has been in flower for about two weeks. No signs of parasites etc inside of bud

    Have you got squirrels?
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Are they yellowing like that and looking a bit parched before they drop? 
    It could be that the plant needs a lot more water at the roots.

    No everything looks happy and healthy? It’s a bit of a mystery
