Tagging some of my outdoor flower friends as I do know dog roses do better outside @DreamMachine @MalagueΓ±a @debbiedo
@PivotalMorombe2 Definitely trust what was working well for you over the Greg schedule. It just makes its best guess based on what info you enter. It will adjust if you snooze the timer until you’re ready to water.

As for the plant itself, I’ve only ever had luck with roses outside β˜€οΈ So you’re already ahead of me there!

Thanks for the tag @MamaLinne 🌱
@MamaLinne Thanks for the tag 🫢🌻 @PivotalMorombe2 I’m with Debbie @debbiedo that I’ve never heard of anyone being able to grow roses indoors. 🧐 πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ But I also agree that Greg’s watering notifications should only be used as reminders to check on your plants and see if they need water. Quite often you will need to water either sooner or later than Greg recommends. So it’s a good idea to be checking on your plants regularly too, and not waiting on Greg to say so.

I’m also going to tag Shannon @SuperbRaspfern to see if we can get a proper diagnosis, but for a start I would think a NE window in Alaska might not have enough light for a dog rose. 🌹 πŸ˜”
She looks like that from being indoors. There is not enough direct sun to keep them healthy. Even if she was in a south facing window, she still would slowly deteriorate.

If you want to keep her alive and healthy you will have to transition her to outside.

Indoors they suffer in the stagnant air and low humidity. When they are not in that direct sun (by this I mean the sun shining right on them). FULL sun, they get very weak and those brown tips happen.

To transition her go slow:

Day 1 - 2 hours outdoors in shade. Then back in.

Day 2- 4 hours outdoors in shade

Keep adding until she is outdoors completely.

Then repeat the process from shade to sun.

Day 1 - 2 hours sun then shade

Day 2 - 4 hours etc.

Pick the sunniest outdoor spot you can find that's where she will be happiest. If you have a yard in the ground is best. That's where they are happiest. If you can't do that you can leave her in the pot.

But she is still young so never let her go bone dry or she will drop her flowers.

As they get bigger they get stronger and can handle going dry at that point.
@DreamMachine Thanks for the tag, makes me miss my roses. I don't have any out here we decided to stick with native plants, but I LOVE them. 🩷🌹
