Need help with mini rose bush, why are the leaves falling off?

I have a mini rose bush outside on my patio and the leaves are starting to fall off. Any suggestions on why and what to do to keep it from dying. Thanks.

Need help with mini rose bush, why are the leaves falling off?
Probably the no. 1 reason for leaves falling off is enviromental stress like too much water. Check to see if you pot is still draining well. The other thing might be fungal diseases. Do the leaves turn yellow and then get black spots before they fall? If they do it's black spot which miniature roses are very susceptible to. If they do get a fungicide for leaf spot diseases and spray them, bottoms and tops of leaves, every 7-10 days. There are many on the market.
Reply:Did you check for black spot of mildew?


Fungus diseases cause the leaves to drop.


A healthy plant is better equipped to ward off diseases. Use Rose Food.
Reply:Are you watering your miniature potted rose bush enough? Do you have a saucer underneath to catch water that drains from the pot? Do you refrain from watering it because you think the drip water will stain your patio?
Reply:cause it's fall?
