Standard rose

About a month ago from a garden centre I bought a standard rose Precious Memories . I followed planting instructions , added manure. Unfortunately over past couple of weeks the leaves have drooped and wilted. This morning I have removed the leaves. I did plant patio roses in the same bed and these are going great guns . The standard rose isn't shelter and not a mature plant. Can anyone help me to save the plant.

  • Normally a sign of too much or too little water.  I would think with the weather we've had it needs a good deep watering.  Could also be something to do with manure - too fresh??  I have never used it so maybe someone else can help there.   Good luck - I love standard roses...

  • When you plant roses where roses have been it's a good idea to plant first in a cardboard box and then in the bed. This reduces chances of contracting any freezers from previous roses.
