Rose Problem

Would I be correct in thinking that the leaves on this rose are being attacked by fungus?

Anyone have an idea as to how it can be cured?

 

Sandy can't make his own as he's still in the EU Woo

 

Good afternoon @wiseowl I know that this rose is grown on a balcony in hot conditions, and would expect that it does suffer as you say. I will pass on the advice. Would I be correct in thinking that the affected leaves should be removed and disposed of?

 

So are you @Zigs for a while. This rose isnt even in Europe.

 

We nearly lost a dear Rose, dear as it was named after our recently passed away Doggy. It was so bad after 5 week Holiday, we decided just cut everything back, give a dressing of Rose feed pellets and hope for the best. With in weeks we had new vigorus groth. To which we just kept feeding the Rose with some Chicken Manure. It worked a treat.

 

Welcome to GC John. Although pruning of roses is best done in February before they start into full growth it won't have done yours any harm, although it may delay it blooming. I wouldn't advise you to over feed it, generally two to three times during the growing season and the last feed is best no later than July.

 

Thank you very much indeed for the Info, im affraid im learning by default, these forums are a great source of info .

 

You're welcome John. We are all still learning no matter how much experience we have. Gardening is an endless subject and there's always something new for us to pick up on, which is why we're here on Gardeners Corner sharing info.

 

@wiseowl as a follow up on this, I heard from my friend today. You'll be pleased to know that the rose is now healthy and doing well. I've been asked to convey thanks to you for your answer. Thanks to you, there is now a very healthy rose on a balcony in Israel.
