Not sure what my tree is

Hi all,

This is my first post here. I purchased 4 bonsai trees a few months ago. The Japanese Maple didn't make it =0( I also have a Juniper which is doing great, a fukien tea which is doing great and another one that I don't know what it is that doesn't seem to be doing well anymore.

The mystery one looks more like a bush than a tree...it had small green leaves and white flowers that resembled roses. It was doing great until one day, the leaves and blooms litterally dried up and I haven't seen a green leaf since. It was literally an overnight happening. Since I'm not sure what kind of tree/shrub it is, I don't know what to do for it or if it may have just gone dormant.

I know this isn't much to go on, but does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Billie

Serissa foetida (aka snow rose).

Yup - it's the most hair-pulling curse-inducing tree you can try - don't do it again if you value your sanity :0)!
