Hello:
 
         I have 2 new rose bushes that I planted about a month ago. They are getting new leaves and 1 is getting new roses but the leaves on both plants continue to turn brown . I read where they need lots of water so I have been doing that. Could the brown leaves be a pest or a lack of something in the soil?
 
      I also read an article that says that all of the oleanders will eventually die due to a bug that is coming to the valley? Is this true? Also 1 of my oleanders (sister agnes) was growing very quickly earlier this year but the last few weeks it seems droopy. I have watered it but it still seems droopy. Have I watered it too much? I know they are very hardy and like the heat so I don't think that could be the problem. Any ideas?
 
Thanks
