You must amend your soil and prune well. Of course you are now going to tell us you don't do anything and just let it go it's way. :roll:
I really don't do anything to them...too thorny....I can't remember the name of the rose, but it is a shrub rose, and about 6 years old. The bugs don't bother this one...just my other ones...lol. In the fall, I mulch my leaves an put them in the garden because I have lots of perenniels. In the spring I work most of the leaves into the soil....that's all...no Miracle Gro. I would hate to see it if I did...LOL
