Roses — Damaged Rugosa Roses viewed 203 times

We used Miracle Grow for roses on all 50 of our roses. Most of them are loving it, but our rugosa roses are damaged. Is there any way we can neutralize the nitrogen concentration on the rugosa roses? Their leaves are turning yellow, then drying and falling off, and their blooms are very weak and short-lived. Thanks!!!!

Hey Joker.....the nitrogen can be leached from the soil with heavy watering. Thouroughly soak the area every two days. After you do this two to three times, all the nitrogen should be flushed from the soil. Your rugosa roses should return to normal health within a couple weeks. Hope everything works out o.k.!!!!
