Climbing roses

[Shellie18]

Can someone help with my climbing roses.
The leaves are droopy and brownish/yellow. They get enough sun. They are on a veranda which sees some wind although there is a glass barrier around the verandah. I’m fairly new to growing roses and I think I have cut some of their main branches too low. I think they need feeding but I’m not sure what to use. I did use some fertiliser (that I have for violets as I checked the ingredients online and they were compatible with roses but it didn’t help). I’m not sure how to fix this problem. Any ideas? Should I just throw them out and try again?

Looks bone dry OP, are you watering it? If it’s in hot sun all day it’ll need a good amount of water every evening.

Also, some climbers do not do well in pots. They need to have their roots deep in the ground.

Nice dog.

Thank you. I will try that. ❤️

I agree with it needing water, lots. Also I’d get some rose fertiliser and feed it.
your pruning seems to be haphazard, look on google for information on the correct pruning methods. What is the rose called? Is it repeat flowering, if it is some suitable pruning now might give it a chance to reflower.
The rose doesn’t seem to have anything to climb up, could you move it so that the wall is behind and put up some trellis, or make an obelisk structure.
Don't throw it out! Roses are really tough!

Put a saucer under the pot and water slowly. If the pot is completely dry, the water may run straight through. Water a bit until the saucer is full of water. When that has soaked in water some more. Keep adding until the pot isn’t soaking up the run off any more. I wouldn’t feed just now as you plant is stressed. Wait until is is showing signs of recovering. Ultimately it needs to be in the ground or a very large pot.

I can’t put it in the ground as I don’t have any outdoor space. I’ll try watering in the saucer. If that doesn’t work I’ll give them to a friend. Thanks.

Giving fertiliser to a struggling plant can have the opposite effect to what it is intended, especially if the soil is on the dry side and the plant is wilting. It can cause something called reverse osmosis, which can dehydrate the plant even more and can be fatal.

Water it.

Agree with others it is very thirsty and like others have said the when the soil is very dry it does this weird thing and becomes hydrophobic so you need to water a little bit and then come back and do some more otherwise the water just runs straight through the pot. I’d be tempted to snip of any leaves that are really damaged or crispy and then when new leaves appear give it a week seaweed feed. Then once it is back on track give it some rose feed at regular strength. But yes, roses in pots need water pretty much every day in summer if they are in a sunny spot.

We had this weird spell of weather recently where it was really hot and dry and then for weeks really hot and humid with so much torrential rain and between that and an army of aphids my roses in the ground were very miserable. I have just nursed them back to health using this method.
