Knockout rose bush problem

My knockout rose bush which is about 6 feet high has a section where the stems, leaves and buds are red and wilted looking. These sections also seem to have clusters with more buds than the rest of the plant.it had this condition last year too.
Thank you for any help you can give me…Ann28601
