From what I can see in the pictures, this is a case of classic rain balling - some roses are particularly susceptible to this. Rain on the buds, particularly excessive rain, means they go brown and 'ball up', meaning they don't open. Dead head them, or take the flowers off, and hope the weather improves when the next lot of buds arrives.

Thanks for the speedy reply Bamboo. Thanks, will deadhead right now.

This is so upsetting when it happens and this year we have had a lot of rain.

If you ever want another yellow bush rose which doesn't suffer from this problem, buy one called Korresia.

So far, a dreadful year for roses.

Mine are all suffering. A couple look exactly the same as yours, the rest are just putting out small buds and waiting for a bit of sun.

Hopefully, things will brighten very soon, if not.., well, only another year till summer!

Do you remember a song by a chap called Elvis Costello, many years ago? It sang "It was a good year for the roses".
