I don't know MF, but my The Fairy often drops a lot of solid yellow leaves from the center of the plant at this time of year.

Depends on where you have your rose. Are you keeping it inside? Roses do not like to be inside unless you have very sophisticated lighting and moisture control. Now if you do have your rose outside and the leaves are turning yellow it could be just normal depending on how many leaves are yellow. roses shed older leaves all the time which is normal or it could just be the climate change. Most roses people ask about are "store bought" roses and they are grown in greenhouses and then sold to stores where they are kept inside. This requires them to be "hardened off" which means to put them outside in semi shade for a few hours everyday for a week or so and then they can be left outside. These "Store Bought" mini roses are hard to kill if treated properly and planted outside in the ground or even in a big pot (12" or larger). Good luck and Happy Gardening! Ms.Mary

About a fortnight ago I moved one of my roses, a climbing 'fuschia'. The plant is now yellowing and the leaves and branches snapping off. Any suggestions as to what has happened? Any remedies? Many thanks

My roses will look like that frequently in the spring when temperatures fluctuate like what you describe. They get frost nipped when the new growth isn't quite prepared for low dips in the temperature. You can pull off any foliage that annoys you, or the rose will drop it off on its own and grow lovely new foliage for you. Others may chime in if there looks to be anything else contributing to this, but it looks like normal spring variability to me. Cynthia
