Yeah, looks like a little burn. The good news is, it shouldn't get any worse. :) If you spray with Safer again in future, try to make sure that you do it when the weather isn't really hot, and do it in the evening. That should help you avoid any burn from the soap. --Alison

That looks like scale. I have a lot of the exact plant and had to remove some leaves because I asked same question and that's what I was told

Carol (Rosecanadian): There are many species of worms, and I hope your white worm is not what's stated on-line: "White worm is undoubtedly the most dangerous pest for the simple reason that there is no way of knowing it's there. White worms attack the roots of the rose bush until it dies. A good way to keep them away is by keeping the soil well fertilized." I agree with the fertilizing part, esp. giving roses enough alkaline minerals: calcium & potassium. Worm-infestation is worst in acidic soil and heavy rain that leach out minerals, making leaves thinner & curl up & more susceptible to pests. Below link states that there are 3 species of rose slugs: "Rose sawfly: Adult sawflies emerge in early spring and lay their eggs on the underside of host plant leaves. Larvae appear several weeks later, feed on soft leaf tissue for about a month, and then drop into the soil to pupate. European roseslug sawfly (Endelomyia aethiops) produces only one generation per year, but another related species, the bristly roseslug sawfly (Cladius difformis), can produce two to six generations per year. A third species, the curled roseslug sawfly (Allantus cinctus) generally produces two generations per year. The three species are all similar in color (light green), but are easily distinguished: bristly roseslug sawflies have bristle-like hairs covering the body, and curled roseslug sawflies curl up the body when at rest." http://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/gardens-gardening/your-garden/help-for-the-home-gardener/advice-tips-resources/pests-and-problems/insects/sawflies/rose-and-pear-slugs-sawflies.aspx Picture below is from above link:

Sorry Annabelle, It's easy for tags to be switched btwn pots. Also sometimes their tags are just wrong, it this case they appear to have been switched. Here's some Golden Pothos (Epipremnum), that I grow in water. But my Pothos growing in soil get watered every 7-10 days or so, I think yours MAY be underwatered. Yours is some variation whose name I forget. Something about Joy or Cream in the name. Let's allow some time for others to chime in, someone here will know. In the meantime, I'd try watering a bit more often & water well, 'til some comes out the bottom.
