Thank you all!!! I have taken some updated pictures...they are no better, but no worse. I am going to prune the damage off and am hoping it will come back next year. Now, because I think I have a serious plant addiction (haha) I bought another rose...a "Hot Tamale", it is considered a miniature rose. After I brought it home, though, I started to worry about whether I should plant it, I don't want this one affected with whatever the others have. Should I have the soil tested or try amending the soil and planting in a new location? Or, should I keep it in a container in the basement over winter?
