Bud Dropping off

**"rosenlund" rosenlund@transport.com>**

Dear List,

My sister has this Hybrid Tea rose with her first year in AZ.
The rose was planted just about a month ago from a pot.  I do remember
hearing this "buds dropping" before, but I can't recall what the problem is!
Please jog my memory?

She's amended her clay/alkiline soil with compost and gypsum.

(my sister's letter)

Thank You,
