    Hi there. I need some help. I'm relatively new to gardening. This is my second season. Last year when we started in the garden I bought my wife 2 roses. 1 tea rose and 1 florabunda. They did really well last year. This season they started really strong. But suddenly they seem to be drooping and dying. There are a few buds on both plants, but I've had zillions of what I think are aphids. I've sprayed them with a soapy water solution, but everyday they are back. I'm not sure if they are the problem or if it is something else. Can someone shed any light on this for me?
    The first 2 photos are the Tea Rose and the second 2 are the florabunda.

    I don’t think it’s dying. It looks like you have Blackspot, quite common. Probably best to spray with ‘Roseclear’, which will also control the aphids.

    You’re welcome. I don’t know if @wiseowl can add anything?
