I don't know that much about dends, but it could be natural die off of the old canes. Do you see any new growth at the base of the plant. Or it could be due to the root problem. Were all the roots dead? Did you check for insects. The reason I ask this is because I had the same prob. last yr. and it was due to spider mite.

Hi,
No, there's not any new growth. Yes, all the roots were dead, unfortunately. No, I didn't check it for insects, but I didn't see any obvious ones. I'll check closer, though.

Thanks for your reply.....I appreciate your help,
Vicki
