A. Your plants have the symptoms of a fungal disease called botrytis (Botrytis cinerea) This disease prevents the blooms from opening; buds turn brown and decay. Sometimes partially opened flowers are attacked and individual petals turn brown and shrivel.
When weather is rainy and cool and then is quickly followed by hot, sunny weather, the water-saturated outer petals can fuse to one another and dry on the outside–disabling the flowers from opening normally.
Often, buds fail when high light plants are in low light settings, if they are initiated at all. At the same time, plants accustomed to low light situations may overheat in direct sun, causing buds to fail. Move these plants to more appropriate lighting conditions or provide supplementary light indoors.
Botrytis, the same fungus that causes gray mold on fruit, can infect flowers and buds before they open, causing them to turn brown. It can also infect canes. These infections are problematic only under very wet conditions. If these tissues are placed in a plastic bag and kept warm and moist, the fungus will sporulate.
The best method for how to treat brown edges on rose leaves due to fungus is to not let the fungi get going in the first place. Maintaining a good fungicide spraying program will go a long way to keeping them at bay. In this case, an ounce of prevention is truly worth more than a pound of cure!
Signs of Overwatering Flowers
The flowers will be drooping and wilted. Leaves on the flowers may look yellowish. The Flower may have a brownish color. Flowers stem may be dry.
Iron is one of the many elements that gives our roses beautiful, lush green foliage while preventing discolouration and premature leaf fall. A shortage of iron in the soil can cause leaves with large yellow areas and fine green veins. The young leaves will be the worst effected and almost completely yellow.

Botrytis blight is the culprit. It is most common on white and pink roses during wet weather. Sanitation is your best control. Remove and dispose of any dead canes and infected buds as soon as they appear.
In the beginning, bud rot attacks a plant's stem, which will appear mushy and gray. As the infection progresses, signs of bud rot are characterized by wilted, yellow and burnt leaves. It's tricky to spot bud rot ahead of time because the fungus first takes hold inside the plant and works its way to the outside.
Black spot causes fewer flowers to form, and the ones that do form are thinner and more pale than normal. With botrytis blight, the buds may fail to open or they might be distorted if they do. This is also the case with rose mosaic virus. If your plant has powdery mildew, buds will form, but they often won't open.
Light intensity
To some degree, more light translates to fatter buds and higher yields (you'll need to pay attention to the distance between your grow light and plants or your plant may suffer from light burn). Increasing light intensity is the most effective way to fatten up buds.
Prune and pot Rose
Remove all leaves as well. Partially fill your pot or can with a good potting soil if you don't have your own mix. Optional: Add some Organic REV to the water to give it a boost in redeveloping roots or just as a growth stimulant. Settle the rose roots (or nub in my case) into the soil.
Deadheading is the removal of finished blooms in order to encourage further blooms and improve the appearance and shape of the rose. You should deadhead repeat-flowering shrub roses and once flowering shrub roses which don't produce hips. Do not deadhead hip producing roses if you want hips in the autumn/winter.
If faded flowers are left on the plant it can delay the production of new shoots below the old flower cluster, so removing them will speed up nature's process. So, when you plant roses, make a mental note that this will be a gardening job you'll need to add to your list, usually around July.
Pests – Insect attacks can leave buds severely weakened to the point of them simply turning yellow and falling off of the rose bush. A common cause of this is thrips, as they like to burrow into the buds for their nutrition and cause irreparable damage to the buds.
Botrytis, also called botrytis blight, is caused by the fungus Botrytis cinerea. Like some other fungi, it is most prevalent in humid or wet weather. Botrytis appears as gray mold on the buds, which often fail to open properly. When open, the petals may have small dark pink spots and blackened edges.
The most diagnostic symptom of Botrytis blight is the presence of grayish-brown, fuzzy growth on the surfaces of infected plant parts. Small, tan flecks or patches appear on flower petals and flower buds. Infected flower buds may droop and fail to open.
Rose buds that are showing their petals and starting to open may be just two days from full bloom. Standard roses, with petals compact but starting to spread, will be fully open about three to four days later. Sweetheart roses may take just two to three days to spread their petals when in a partially-open state.
Flower thrips will cause buds to distort. If the buds do open, you might also see brown streaks on the individual petals. Chilli thrips cause damage1 to the rose buds, leaving them dried out and brittle. They also feed on the leaves, causing them to curl upwards or become distorted.
Magnesium deficiency
Symptoms: Yellowing between the leaf veins, sometimes with reddish brown tints and early leaf fall. Magnesium deficiency is common in tomatoes, apples, grape vines, raspberries, roses and rhododendrons.
Inflammation or soreness of your tongue. Brittle nails. Unusual cravings for non-nutritive substances, such as ice, dirt or starch. Poor appetite, especially in infants and children with iron deficiency anemia.
