Troubleshooting
Therese Bugnet Rose problems — and how to fix them
Therese Bugnet Rose (Rosa 'Therese Bugnet') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Vigorous suckering
On its own roots it suckers strongly and can spread widely. Remove unwanted suckers regularly, or plant where its colonising habit is an asset.
Few hips
The double flowers set little fruit, so it offers bloom and stem colour rather than an autumn hip show. Combine with single roses for hips.
Rain-marked blooms
Full double flowers can spot or ball after heavy rain. An open, sunny, airy position helps the blooms dry and prolongs their display.
Lime chlorosis
Yellowing between green veins on alkaline soils signals lime stress. Favour neutral-to-acid, well-drained soil and avoid liming.
