How to fertilize Cherokee Rose
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Cherokee Rose after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

What am I doing wrong? #ChinaRose I got this plant as a gift from my girlfriend, who thought it was an easy one to take care of. Turns out, it’s extremely difficult and needy. Lol I’ve been trying my best to figure out where I’m getting it wrong. It’s by a south facing window and it does bloom a flower every now and then. But the leaves are always yellowing and sometimes the flower blooms already with brown edges. It’s on a glazed clay pot with no drainage, and I water it almost daily (it’s summer here). I’m very inexperienced with plants and just trying my best. Thank you so much.

I was given a mini flora rose bush as a present and having a hard time keeping it healthy. It’s been hot lately (95+). I keep switching the plant from full sun to the partial shade of an olive tree. Not sure how to keep this rose bush happy. Any suggestions?

Is it too late to save my rose? #ChinaRose I think it has cankers now. Idk what to do. Should I cut off the affected area or dispose of the plant? How can I save it?

China Rose My China rosebush from Trader Joe’s, was off to a great start for a few weeks. I think the heat wave really did the damage. Any suggestions on bringing my poor Stella back to life?

My plant looks sad. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I water it as the app tells me, I’ve fertilized it and it is growing under a grow light as I don’t have direct sunlight. Looking for help to revive. #MiniatureKordanaRose

#FreshLeafFriday I was worried when I bought these roses they only came in two colors but this blush pink was hiding. It is so magnificent to me when I see natural gradients! It’s beautiful. #godscreation

I’ve been trying to save this poor guy for about a week now, they were on sale at work and I bought one for my mom and myself and then they were in my house for about a week and they started to droop, I rushed hers over to her because she’s got a much greener thumb than I but we’re both still having no luck reviving the little things. I’ve tried pruning, green tea bags, changing locations, tomorrow I’m going to attempt to repot and add vermiculite to the soil because it seems to be retaining moisture really badly. Hopefully no root rot but I suspect that’s what’s going on here #
