    My miniture rose bush has lost its leaves and the flowers are cocooned in a web looking thing. Can this plant be saved? Thanks

    Sounds like spider mites. Is it very dry where your rose is grown?

    Have a look at the pictures of the leaves on this UC Davis Web page. If the webs look similar - i.e. much finer than spider webs - and the leaves look stippled, grey then yellow, spider mite infestation is the cause of your problem.
