I received a miniature rose bush for Valentine's Day, and I'm afraid that I don't have a very green thumb. I accidentally dropped the plant, and in the process broke the stem of one of the roses. It didn't break off entirely and seemed to not be affected for a few days, so i let it remain on the bush. Eventually it did start to turn brown around the edges of the petals, so I pulled it off where it had been broken. Since then, it's like a domino effect has occured on the others. The flowers and buds closest to the one I pulled off have started to wilt and turn brown as well, and are quickly deteriorating, while the ones on the opposite side of the bush are still beautiful and vibrant. I thought the plant would heal as soon as I pulled off the dying rose, but it's been several days and that doesn't seem to be the case. I know it's just a small inexpensive plant, but it really has sentimental value to me and I'd like to do anything I can to restore it's beauty. How do I save my rose bush?

Thank you,

Miniature roses need good humidity indoors and semi moist soil and they do better in bright indirect light rather than full sun with very low humid atmosphere where they can bake and the soil dry quickly.
Hard water can be an issue as well. They also need to get accustomed to there new surroundings.Overfeeding can be another reason. So with any of those things going on, the leaves/buds can turn a crunchy brown.
Like indoor ivy, mini roses can become infested with tiny spidernmites, they can cause yellow streaky falling and brown leaves. Not that your is infested, but it's a good idea to check to make sure your plant is pest free.
If you have something like a clear vase that's big enough to hold your potted rose, you can add some little stones at the bottom of the vase or something similar, then a little water to is comes up just "below" the stones, so water is not touching the pot, then set the pot down inside it for humidity, an instant humid greenhouse!
In the warmer months, if your still having trouble, plant it outdoors when it's warmer in a moist brightly lite area, it will come back the following spring.
