What is wrong with my rise tree?

10 years ago

I have this rose tree that has an entire section that seems to be dying. It gets plenty of water and gets trimmed properly. Besides the basic maintenance I am not doing much else to it. Is there a product I should use to treat it with in order to bring this section back to life?

Follow the dead cane downward and you will find something wrong near the base. It is broken, or has been bored hollow by an insect larva, or the bark has been girdled by a canker fungus (patch of black or brownish bark). Cut the dead cane out.

I had this happen on my Baby Blanket rose tree a few years ago. Do what Michael suggests and find the point where there's some kind of injury and cut it off below that. It took a year or so to fill back out but my tree recovered just fine afterwards.
