Hi I got this miniature rose a couple weeks ago and it’s really not looking well and I was wondering if anyone knew why maybe?

I’m fighting to keep one out of hibernation right now too. Roses thrive on long hours of direct sunlight which is why they typically don’t do well indoors.  
Put it in the sunniest spot in your house but not up against a cold window. That will trigger hibernation (leaves dropping). Check regularly and water when soil is dry. Clip off yellowing leaves. You’re basically trying to trick it into thinking it’s still spring/summer. If you’re really invested in having indoor mini roses it’s best to use grow lights

Ok thank you I have some other plants and have a grow light for them so I’ll put it under there. And will clip off all the leaves that are yellowing thanks for the advice!

Best of luck!! If it does drop all its leaves it can still grow them back when it comes out of hibernation, especially if planted outside :)

Ok thank you again! :)
