I have a miniature rose potted with a clematis and some ground covers. It has been doing very well until a few days ago. Suddenly, after a heavy rainstorm, the leaves are shriveling and dying, although it is still in bloom. A few of the leaves show insect damage but not more than it has been all summer. I have been feeding it rose food regularly. The conditions under which I have been caring for it haven't changed but my beautiful bush appears to be dying. I have pruned back some of the most effected branches but am wondering what else I can do.

Thanks, Grandma. I am fertilizing with Miracle Grow for Roses about every 2 weeks. I have two other potted mini roses that are doing great on the same fertilizing schedule and the one I am having difficulty with was doing well until a few days ago. Since pruning back the worst of the branches, it seems to have stabilized for the moment and I am hoping the plant recovers.

Some ground covers can be very invasive. Maybe it is just getting choked out. Are your other ones planted the same way??
