Rose issue - is this treatable?

Pruned this rose earlier this year. Flowered beautifully last year (when I planted it) so I probably cut the flowers off. Its barely grown this year with leaves going yellow with a couple of green leaves just emerged. I know roses can be slow to establish.

My other roses (planted around the same time) seem ok. Its pretty much in full sun.

I've been watering frequently, soil is good. Gave it a bit of mulch recently. The leaves would indicate some nutrient deficiency.

Is it a goner?

 

I think I would give it a half-strength feed of a general rose feed. It does look like a nutritional deficiency.

 

Will tomato feed do?

 

Hi

have you had roses in the same place before ? It looks like it has black spot
Looks like it needs a good weed in that area and only a weak feed seaweed feed would be ideal we are into August and i tend only to feed baskets pots etc as you don’t want to encourage too much new growth that will be soft and sappy going into winter

 

You need to clear everything that's growing close to it as roses need space and air circulation.

Watering regularly will wash nutrients away from the roots and I agree with Goldenlily26 (although it's a little late in the season) that a half strength feed will help. I usually give roses their last feed of the season in July.

Tomato food will produce flowers so you need something different to help it re-build its strength. A rose food as Goldenlily26 suggested or something like blood, fish and bone sprinkled around it and gently watered in.

 

Yeah, I need to weed it, ground is like concrete there. Which surprised me because I had improved it a lot when I had my garden done a couple years ago, lots of compost dug in.

Also I am trying to strike a fine balance between weeds competing with the plants and having some surrounding plants offering shade with their leaves to keep the soil around the roses cooler and damper. Bare soil is the hardest to deal with.

 

Any plants around will surely compete for nutrient and water.

A through soaking if you are still allowed to use a hose followed by an application of a good fertiliser, followed by another watering and then a mulch.

 

If the compost was dug in then it wasn't much help for the rose. I still suggest clearing the area and to help moisture retention put compost around the rose base but don't dig it in.
