Why Is My New Petite Knock Out Rose Dying?

Question

All the leaves have dried up and fallen off. What I thought were bud nodes are getting brown. I have followed instructions for planting (repotting from the store) and care of these plants. What have I done wrong? Can I save my rose? I’m desperate to bring it back to life. Help!

Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. There are quite a number of reasons why roses will fail at transplant. This can be under or overwatering, soil that is already infected, soil with too much nutrients, insect damage, among many other factors.
