    Hi,

    I am a newcomer and novice to gardening but have an issue with my front hedge and was hoping that someone can advise what the problem might be? The hedge seems to be dying off and thinning out and the leaves have marks on them as shown in the pics attached.

    Welcome any help and advice!

    Thanks,

    Cameron

    It looks like a mixture of leaf disease, to me, but mostly Rust or other fungal disease, Cameron. I would try to prune out the infected leaves, bin them don't compost them, and clean your cutting tools after. There are chemical fungal treatments that are available but, in truth, I don't have much faith in them.:dunno::cat-kittyandsmiley::coffee:

      This looks like Algal leaf spot, its common in wet years, and can be transfered to Camelias, Rhoddos and others, like what Armandii said, then add a copper drench or other drench fungicide, it it does come back or transfer to other plants, you can treat with rose clear spay, if you catch it early enough.
