I planted a gardenia bush in my back yard. After a couple weeks of being planted i started to see new growth but the leaves on it continue to turn yellow then brown and fall off. What is going on all of my other flowers and roses are beautiful.

gardenia plants are very fussy................they like to be potted by themselves in a sunny area that gets afternoon shade......after the sun passes mix up 1 teasp liquid hand soap and 1 qt water and spray the plant well getting under the leaves.....when it rains do it again...............they do not like cool nights.............they will die...............
Too much water. Watch when the leaves droop. Add some water dig a trench, to retain moist w/o actually over watering.
you must live in a sub tropical or tropical area, sounds like you might of had a little cool weather and the plant is trying to come back.  Wait until it is much warmer to trim lightly.
