@HipRedlog30 China roses tend to come from the store saturated. They are full of blooms when you get them but they die off quickly if you repot in fresh soil, provide the right lighting and water by schedule, it will come back stronger than before. The red leaves are a great sign. That is new growth!!! Your plant is perfectly healthy and is growing new flower buds. Stop watering the plant daily. Let the soil dry slightly between waterings. China Roses like to be mosit not soggy. Mine just started blooming again. See photo.ive got mine on my front porch facing east. I water every 4-5 days depending on how hot it is outside. It does take time for these plants to come back but they come back stronger and better. So far, you are doing great.
@HipRedlog30 have you seen new leaves before? From what I know, young leaves can start off red because of the pigment anthocyanin, which protects them from the sun (like a plants sunscreen). I’ve read that they will turn green as they mature. This is what I’m leaning towards for your situation, but I could be wrong, not a rose expert 😄
