Roses are among the most beautiful flowers in the home garden, which are often nurtured and cared for with a lot of love and care. All the more annoying when the hopefully thick buds of the beauties do not want to open. There are various reasons for this.
Too much moisture can be the reason why the rose petals don't open
If the buds don't open, the weather is usually to blame
In particular, rose varieties with double to very double flowers tend not to open fully or at all. The reason for this is usually to be found in the weather: if it is persistently damp and it rains often, the outer petals cannot dry and gradually rot. Persistent moisture favors an infestation with gray mold (Botrytis) or powdery mildew, which prefer to attack young shoots and flower buds. In addition to too much moisture, the cause can also be found in excessive dryness as a result of a strong, long-lasting heat period.
If, on the other hand, the weather is fine and your rose shows no other signs of illness, it may just be in the wrong place. Repositioning often works wonders.
tips
Roses should never be fertilized when they are planted, but only when they have established themselves in their new location. Fertilizing too early may prevent the rosebuds from opening.
