Saving a Potted Memorial Rose Kept Indoors: Move Out, Prune Hard, Treat Mold

A rose bush kept indoors since April has droopy leaves and gray mold (powdery mildew). In Missouri, move it outside now—roses need cold dormancy. Plant in garden, cut to 8 inches. Spray baking soda (1 tbsp/quart) for mold. Water, mulch, fertilize next spring. Prune annually by 1/3 after established.
