    The salt could be an issue if it is heavily in the soils and air but Lady Banks is usually a pretty tough rose in all the varieties. I would certainly give her a try as she is such a beautiful rose. You may also want to look at some of the Rugosa roses, some folks call them Beach Roses because they are very salt tolerant. Such as ones named Fire N Spice or Henry Hudson.

    Whether it be cutworms or rose slugs, for natural methods of controlling them, the best website I have found for natural methods or means is the one at this link: https://www.planetnatural.com/ They have many items that can be used to help gain control of the buggers that bug us in the garden! They could have come in with the mulch or could have come in by way of small moths that lay eggs in the mulch.

    Since it is the Fall season, you may want to move the operation of rooting the roses inside. Here is an article for you to check out on starting/rooting roses from cuttings too: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/roses-from-cuttings.htm

    I would spray them with a good insecticide if they still have bug issues. I would also spray them about a week or two later with a good fungicide prior to winter prep. These two steps will help them come back better in the Spring. Here is a link to an article I wrote on winter care for roses for you as well: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/roses-winter-care.htm
    After reading that article do a search for my article on mounding rosebushes as well.

    Tree roses are grafted roses. The rosebush grafter onto the main trunk looks to be dieing. I recommend giving the rose tree some water that has a product called Super Thrive in it. Do this the next 4 to 5 times it needs watering. If you live in a warm climate area, you could also mix some root stimulator into the same water each time. That is about all you can do, the rest is up to the tree rose. Here is an article link for you to check out and read too: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/roses/learn-more-about-tree-roses.htm

    Yes you can, Banana peels are a good source of potassium for the soils and root uptake by the roses. I cut the peels or even the entire banana up into 1/2" or less thickness or widths. Scratch back some of the soils at the base of the rosebush and place two or three of the cutup bananas or peels there. Cover up with the soils, water lightly and let nature take its course.

    The Confederate Rose Tree is not actually a rose at all, even though the name might suggest that it is. It is actually a hibiscus and thus caring for this wonderful plant will follow the lines of taking care of a hibiscus plants. Here is a link to an article that will help you with that. Please feel free to contact us for more information or specific care questions. Link: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/hibiscus/
