I planted several Osiria seeds in separate pots a couple of months ago and nothing has happened yet I put them in fresh compost and gave them plenty of water just wondering if I'm doing something wrong
Many seeds need special treatment before planting, roses included. Hybrid plants do not come true from seed so your plant may not look like the plant from which you took the seed. Stem cuttings are an easier and faster way to propagate and result in a plant that looks exactly like the parent plant. Here is an article on growing roses from seed. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/growing-roses-from-seed.htm
are coffee grounds harmfull to outdoor rose plants ?
Coffee grounds go to the compost pile. It is a myth that they acidify the soil. When coffee is brewed, the acids go into the beverage.
Should I prune roses immediately they finish flowering?
Pruning should be done in very early spring. Dead-heading, or removing flowers that are done (spent) is recommended if you have a rose variety that blooms more than once. If your rose only blooms in June, then leaving blooms on the plant will produce colorful rose hips. If you expect more blooms this summer, look past the bloom for where 5 leaflets are found. Trim just above (1/4") an outward-facing 5 leaflet. If you know what type of rose you have, you can search online for on-going care specifics.
Although the color of the leaves, the stalks, and The Underneath of the leaves appear fine. However some critter is redecorating the leaves with holes, and there are fine, small white lines. Also is a tinge of black spot starting? Please please please help comma and thank you greatly ahead of time.
Most plants will have some foliar damage; it is the price they pay for being outdoors and part of the ecosytem. I don't see anything serious. You may have a few whiteflies. The average size is under 3mm. so they are tiny. Look on the undersides of leaves which is where many pests linger and feed. It looks like a leaf cutter bee has taken a few bites from leaves but this is not worrisome. The other random holes are so few that again, this is common in outdoor plants and not severe enough to affect plant health.
I bought four of these roses from a reputable website some nine years ago as a memory to my wife's Grandmother Phylis. I scoured the internet and found the 'Phylis' Rose and bought four of them, one for my wife and one each for my mother-in-law and my wife's uncle and her brother. Until this year, our rose has been doing the best of all and each being very healthy and flowering throughout the summer. But then this year our rose has turned very poorly looking as can be seen in the photos attached. Instead of an abundance of leaves and then buds and blooms we have this short spikey looking growth all over. The stems of the plant look healthy but no leaves and certainly no buds. Now, neither of us are particularly good at gardening but we potter and deadhead etc. This rose has not been moved for at least five years and seemed to be flourishing. Please please please can someone tell me what's up.
I have not seen this at such an early stage but my first impression is that the parasite "dodder" (Cuscuta) has infected the plant. Here is an article on dodder control. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/weeds/dodder-weed-control.htm
Contact your state cooperative extension service. they may have info on the type of dodder reported in your state and they are keen to keep this parasite under surveillance. Your county may have a walk-in clinic for help with plant problems. Just search for "[your state] cooperative extension service"
Hi! I've got a variety of herbs and roses planted together in one bed and they've all gotten this horrible issue with yellow/white spots and turning yellow and looking sickly. The exception are the thyme and the dill which look good and healthy. I also have some pumpkin and clematis in there that seems healthy. The worst are my rosemary, oregano and sage. They're looking AWFUL. They've been in this raise bed for almost 2 seasons now. The roses only have black spot (not the white/yellow problem) which I'm going to treat with sulfur as neem oil no longer seems to help. The yellow/white spots have even spread to my peppermint plant that is over 15 feet from this bed. I will mention that there are a lot of tree stumps sharing this soil, with lots of mushroom/fungus in them. But I've read that the stump fungus isn't harmful to other plants. Can this be a soil pathogen? What can I do to treat my edibles so that I can actually eat them? Help! Thank you!!!
Some diseases, such as fusarium wilt, cause leaf yellowing as well, although the yellowing typically starts as circles on the leaves or accompanies wilting and other symptoms such as stunted growth. In many cases of disease, disposing of the plant and soil in a plastic bag is the best option to prevent the spread of the disease to other herbs, although removing infected leaves is sometimes sufficient.

Which flower will attract butterfly more between Roses and Sunflower.
Native plants that have nectar attract the most butterflies although there are non-natives that provide for them as well. I've never seen butterflies on roses. With sunflowers, it will only be a few weeks when the flower first blooms that it provides food for butterflies. Here is an article about common, easy to find plants that are butterfly friendly. http://www.birdsandblooms.com/gardening/attracting-butterflies/long-blooming-flowers-attract-butterflies-hummingbirds/
