How often are you watering? Was the soil still wet or was it dry when you dug into it? Roses from the garden center are often potted into less than desirable potting mix and it is possible that the rose is either too dry or too wet. The holes in leaves are probably an insect, but that shouldn't cause other leaves to turn yellow. I recommend planting it as soon as you can as that should solve most problems. If you can't plant it then try to move it into a shadier spot and keep an eye on the moisture levels in the pot.

Well I'm not any kind of a rose expert, but since nobody else is saying anything, I'll give my opinion anyway!:) First of all, I disagree that potted plants shouldn't be fertilized. You don't need to fertilize plants that are just temporarly going to be potted, but if they are staying in the pot for a few months, they are going to need some nutrients, or they'll start turning yellow. Fertilizing sparingly would probably be wise though. I'm not sure whether the yellowing is caused by lack of nutrients or not though. Are the yellow leaves evenly mixed through the plant, or are they just on the bottom, or just on the top? Heh heh, I'm all for squishing short brownish worms. There are way more bad unknown ID worms that will munch through your plants then good ones, so I get rid of them. Pictures are always good for idenitifying species. You might be able to look on google and find pics of your nasty bug if it is common enough. Heat stress can cause yellowing, especially in potted plants (what?! heat stress, THIS YEAR? Yeah...probably not. But still. Those black containers can really cook) Or over watering. Personally, I think I'd get the roses out of the pots and in their permanent spots ASAP. It's not that roses can't survive potted...but if they are in the pots they came in, there is a good chance that there isn't enough room in there, or their roots are getting too hot, or not draining well enough. It's just easier to pin point what the problem is once the rose is settled in and you can eliminate problems that are simply due to being potted. These are all just suggestions, because I don't have a ton of rose experience. I would mention that my Emily Carr and Morden Blush that I planted last year looked slightly yellowish and less that gorgeous for the first couple of months after I planted them - even though they continued to bloom beautifully. Then they perked up, and this year they look really good. I think Emily is fairly tough, so if you get it planted and take care of it the way roses like, it should be just fine.

I have designed a few things in laundry rooms for clients that really maximize the space. A built in company can give you something sturdy that is customized for your space. If you need to do something on the lower price side these pictures may give you some inspiration. One is storage created above and on the sides of full size units. The other is a mud room that had a broom closet added and over head storage. My best advice would be design for the long run, don't do anything that won't convert well if you end up going to the stackable units.

This poor bloom decided to open on a 95 degree day and when I saw from a distance that it was open I was sure that when I got closer it would be fried but it's beautiful!
