Is there any hope?

for my rose plants? Keep getting infected with powdery mildew and spider mites (that's what I think these are) over and over again. I have chopped off the infected shoots/buds etc. multiple times but it keeps coming back :(

I am a novice gardener, looking for help and suggestions. Thank you :)

Oh gosh! I’d really get rid quickly. Bin, do not compost the plant.
When you replace it you must plant the new rose in a different place. Rose diseases stay in the soil.

Thanks for the quick reply - it is a potted rose, do I need to get rid of the pot too?

Unless it’s special one I’d say yes throw the lot.
The pot might have had a lot to do with the poor condition of the plant. Was it large enough and did it have the correct growing conditions?

I am not sure about "growing conditions" - I got two rose plants a year or so ago from supermarket and then repotted those in bigger pots - they had been flowering but were constantly under the attack of these pests (white powder and webs), I tried soapy water and rose clear etc. but it never got cured completely.

Got worried as I also have a hydrangea nearby and din't want that to be infected too.

any advice / on what's gone wrong or perhaps what can I do next time for roses / other plants in general? I have a west facing balcony, which gets some sunlight in the evenings.

Red spider mite particularly thrives in dry air conditions. Stand it near to a pond or container filled with water to keep the humidity up, cut off the dead leaves and when you water it, water from above so you wet the foliage as well.

That pot is way too small. I plant my courtyard roses in large planters. I will post a photo of a small rose bush planted in a pot that is about 40 cms diameter and about 45cms high.
They need good drainage, rich compost mixed with some grit. Then in spring top dress the planter with rose fertiliser, when they start to flower I give a tomato feed water every couple of weeks.
Don’t let them dry out, try to keep the compost damp to the touch and remove all finished blooms. This encourages new ones.

Thank you @yamadori and @beebumble2, really helpful :)

Sure, will take care next time and that’s a lovely rose plant 😊

Thank you, it’s Blue Eyes For You.

Mildew can be caused by being too dry at the roots. So it all comes down to too small a pot and being kept too dry.

Of course, you could cut this down to say 6 inches, re-pot it in moist compost and see if it will re-shoot from the base.
