New to roses and gardening!

Dont spray, just wash them away with water... fungus is not an issue in Karachi unless there is rain for 2-3 day continuously..

Yes, I'll remember that!
That's one of the main reason why I've kept them in pots!
In winter they're getting around 6 hours of sunlight.
What about summers?

[Izhar]

In summer they need shade from mid-day sun.. your roses doesn't seem to get 6 hours direct sun, they are stretching and spindly in growth..

Look at this growth pattern in 3 hours sun, they are stretching, they bloom very less but grow lush green and tall (currently 7 feet):



Look at this growth of 6 hours direct sun, its strong, healthy and not lanky.. it is in 12 inch pot:



Look at this growth of 7 hours dappled sunlight, they growth is healthy but stretching ... it is in 9 inch pot:

Wow, 6 hours one seems best!
I'll try my best!
I don't exactly know names of roses, just 2 terminologies. Desi and English.
I've 8 desi and 2 english(The purple one in pictures shared) and new one which got insects today.
I've found out reading different articles that desi roses tend to survive in Karachi's climate however, english roses are hard to take care of.
Just have a look at this article, http://www.dawn.com/news/1049353 and http://tribune.com.pk/story/698486/why- ... isnt-rosy/

Zahrah Nasir speaks the truth...

What should I do for them in summers?
Except from giving them shade in mid-days and providing water regularly?
And one more thing, I asked you yesterday that petals of rose were turning black, could it be due to over-watering? Because I was watering them frequently and even the nursery guy told me don't water them frequently, just when the upper soil seems to be dry.

It could be many reasons.. i though your plants were established that is why i mentioned calcium deficiency... new plants do this due to shock of transportation.. water after 1 day gap.. if the pot is still wet then dont water...

During summers, only keep them moist and save from mid day sun... that is it..

Thank you once again.!
No only 3 of them are established, rest all are young.
Even I think they are doing this due to shock, they were transplanted to bigger pots when bought them last week.
