Not really sure what to do with these trees, or really what happen to them. What I have is three small cedar trees (about 3ft tall) that have gone from green to completely brown (rust).The previous owner had planted them (assuming last year) as some still have the tags on them. One tree is in a row of trees separating my yard from the church next door. It's in the middle, with perfectly green trees on either side of it. The other two are beside each other in the front of the yard, with a perfectly green cedar on either side of this pair. The two trees in the front got regular watering along with the grass during our month and change of dry weather, and the trees in the back didn't (I don't have enough hose or well water for the back yard). Any thoughts as to what I can do with these almost dead trees? The cedar trees I had at my previous house where wild trees (transplanted by myself from the bush). Plant them and forget them, they'd grow anywhere.

When we moved into our house we had a pretty nice rose garden area... 2 years later its pretty unsightly and the bushes seem to be far worse off. I've wanted to learn how to treat and care for the various roses but don't know what to do really... I read some guides on the net but it wasnt that useful. I'm thinking maybe that a book can help me out. Thank you.
