Leaves Falling Off Lilies And Roses

Question

They were doing very well and then they turned like a wet looking brown. Not all my lilies are doing this. They even bloomed earlier this summer. The leaves on my roses are falling off also. However the leaves are brown.

Answer 1

First, check your plants for any pests. If you don't see pests like aphids, consider weather events. There is more on that in the articles below. If cultural reasons also can be cleared, you may need to look at diseases of lilies and roses. Black spot is a very common fungal disease of roses and leaves will quickly fall off.
