Being a beginning gardener, I purchased 9 groundcover rose plants because they are supposed to be the "easy-care" rose and planted them this past spring 5 ft apart as instructed by my nursery. They were full of blooms at that time, however now I have already lost 2 plants and the blooms are few on the rest of them. I water them often and they are in a sunny area. Any suggestions about what I could be doing wrong? Also, what should I do this winter with these plants?

Thank you for your help.

would also be beneficial. Follow the package label instructions.

You might want to consult with your local county extension for help with the soil testing and possibly to check and make sure your plants have not had a pest or disease problem this season. I hope this helps you trouble shoot. would also be beneficial. Follow the package label instructions.
