Help Saving a Rose
Hi,
I have a great David Austin rose that unfortunately has come close to death. We needed to put up a new fence and a post for this fence had to be concreted in very close to the rose. The required position for the post meant it had to go close to the rose. I tried to get it as far away from the root as possible and it is about 4 inches clear of the crown. However, within a day of the post going in it flopped badly so I must of snagged a root deep down. Attached are some before and after pictures. So gutted as it was so beutiful this year. I dead headed all the flopped roses. To begin with all of the buds had flopped over. Now there are a few buds upright and looking ok which is some small sign. I basically wanted to know if there is anything specific I can do to aid its recovery?
Thanks
