Q.I Have A Wild Climbing Rose Bush At The End Of The Garden. But Something Seems To Be Attacking The Buds?
I have a wild climbing rose bush that has had some loverly small pink blooms on it. But then some of the buds seem to have a brown rotten texture to them. Thought at first it could be too much rain. But now it seems to be happening to most of the blooms. It is a loverly fragrant rose that I would like to save.
