My Blue Girl roses are blooming with mutant, wilted blooms. All of my others roses are doing well. It’s a 5-year old bush and has problems every year. But this year, I took extra care to prune and fertilize appropriately with Bayer. Can anyone tell what I’m doing wrong or offer tips?

Probably Thrips

Is it normal for thrips to attack one rose only, over a period of several years? Would not one expect an undiagnosed infection to spread?

I would try digging up the rose, soaking the roots in a water or wet mud bath with a tsp. of bleach added, and then replanting in a well amended new location.

Or, 'Blue Girl' is still in commerce. You could simply replace yours, again in some different location.
