Q.What is going on with my rose bush?

Zone Punta Gorda, FL | warne_michael added on April 14, 2015 | Answered

My rose bush is producing buds and flowers, and they look beautiful; however, some of the leaves are starting to turn yellowish in spots and just want to fall off. Other leaves have what almost looks like a shiny sparkly color too, while the rest of them are looking very well. The only way to really describe it is to see it.

It could be a couple things. One is that they need to be planted outside in the garden or rosebed so the roots can spread out. Or at least transplanted into a larger pot as the roots could be getting what is called root bound. You are seeing the early signs so the time to act is now. Also make sure the soils are not staying too wet as this too will cause a loss of leaf sheen and yellowing leading to dropping the foliage.
