Rose leaves turning brown but not drying or dying..
Comments (1)They appear to have suffered a freeze to me. It isn't surprising your tree rose foliage isn't affected. Cold air sinks, pooling at the lowest levels. The coldest air could have been below the head of the standard where the lower foliage would have suffered the cold damage. It could also be the genetic difference in cold hardiness of the foliage between the variety shown and that budded to the tree, or both. The leaves are softer, thinner and more susceptible to freeze damage at higher temps than the canes. Kim...See MoreBegonia leaves are turning brown on the edges and dying
Comments (3)What about Temps? The same thing happened to mine, until I set mine on a heat matt and warmed the soil a bit, considering the room they are in gets into the low 60's, and they were set by a window sill which can get pretty cold.. Do you think a drink of water combined with cool root temps could be the culprit? Mine is doing well now and new healthy leaves are emerging.... I hear many begonia can be very sensitive to room temps... Mike...See MoreHolly leaves turning brown/black - HELP!!
Comments (8)I'm in Greenville, SC and our winter was harsher than usual but the other two shrubs seem to be doing fine. Ken, the picture is oriented correctly and unfortunately, I can't blame pets or kids for the damage - only my lack of gardening skills. There are about 4 small branches that are affected and all of the leaves on each branch have turned colors. Some are still about half green but I suspect they'll be fully brown soon as most of them are. Should I prune all the way back to the trunk? This will leave a bit of a gap right in the front but I'm fine with it as long as they eventually recover....See MorePotted alnwick rose leaves turning partially brown and dying
Comments (5)Do you have the rose in potting soil or garden soil? Roses in pots should be in potting mix. Garden soil is too "heavy" for a plant in a pot. Are the roots growing out of the bottom of the pot? If so, you may need to move it to a bigger pot. If you just recently repotted the rose, and used new potting mix, the plant shouldn't need any fertilizer for a couple of months. Adding Miracle Grow can be too much for the rose. I also would not add any compost either. Has the temperature recently risen lately and it is hot where you are located? You might want to move the plant where it gets some shade in the afternoon. We are going to be 108--109 for the next week or so, so some afternoon shade for the plants may be in order at my house. I would re-pot the rose in some nice new potting soil and keep it in the shade for a couple of days so it won't go shocky on you. See if that helps....See Moreflora_uk
