Question
I have a 30 yr old rose bush that the landscaper transplanted to another area of the yard after he was told don't touch it ... it is now dieing ... I have fertilized it and make sure it has enough water ... is there any thing I can do to save it or do I just need to cry and accept that I am going to lose it?

Answer
Quickly take a glass of water and go and take many cuttings from the bush. Cut them off anywhere that is not drooping. Immediately place them in the fridge. Then go and cut your old rose bush right down to 12 inches. Don't panic this will probably save it not kill it. When a rose is moved the roots are damaged and the tiny feeder roots can no longer take up the water and nutrients. Cutting the rose right down means they don't have as much to contend with. After cutting it way down, place a mulch of any kind all around the base of the rose. Water, water and water daily but don't give anymore fertilizer as the roots can't take it up to the leaves. Even if you think you are not winning and the rose droops, still keep watering as the rose could perk up late in the summer. With this drastic method, it should come back from the base next spring. DON'T GIVE UP!

Now in regards to the cuttings. Here is a website that will tell you how to make a rose bush from a cutting. Do many as some will not strike.
