| Can anyone tell me what is happening to my rose bush. I already lost rose bush this year. It never came back from its January pruning. Then my St. Patrick lost almost all it leaves but it might be making a come back and now my Chrysler Imperial looks distorted. I had roses for 8 years and have never had problems like this. I had a little rust issue and have been spraying for that but this looks different. Thanks for any help. |

| Downy mildew? |
|
| Looks sunburnt to me. We had that heat wave right when everything had pushed out a lot of tender new foliage--the plants couldn't take it. I think your plant will be okay there, but I'd rig up some temporary shade to get it through our next heat wave due Tues-Friday. |

| Is the spray too strong? Did you spray mid day in the sun? |
|
| I think it does look heat stressed. I'd take off the damaged parts and give it some kind of shade during the hottest part of the day. Even just a lawn chair over it to shade it will help. |
