| I have curling leaves on new growth. It is on one of my hybrid tea roses which is about 10 years old. Has anyone seen this? Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:

| It might be the first sign of powdery mildew--do you have a wide variation between night and day temperatures? This sort of weather often brings on PM. It first attacks new growth at the top of the plant. |
|
| Could we get some closer pics with better light? |
|
| If you click on the picture to enlarge it you should see it better. I'll try to take better pics. I had cut it off once before and new growth where same. It is very stiff, no bugs in it, and it is stunned. |
|
| Here is a better picture. |

| Looks like that rose rosette virus...lots of my roses have it now. Does anyone know of a spray that I can use. Margaret |

| I don't know what it IS, but it ain't powdery mildew. I know P.M. well, and that ain't it. Jeri |

| Valya, where do you live? Also, can you describe your rose beds and what surrounds them? Such as a high fence, lawn that is treated with week killer, how do you remove weeds from your rose beds, any wild roses near your property, etc. |

| Hi, I live in Raleigh,NC, it is zone 7b, very humid,a lot of bugs and diseases.This particular bed is in a back yard next to the porch, 12 feet away from a shadow box fence. But there are pine trees behind a fence, and roses don't get morning sun up till 1p.m. Nothing grows next to theme, only lemon grass as a ground cover. I do not use weed killer, I pull them by hand, and I do not even fertilise back yard (grass ) because we have dogs. I spray roses every other weekend for bugs and disease. This is something different, I decided to take soil test, I have not done it for e few years already. I did one thing differently to these roses this spring; I used compost tea earlier in the spring. Is it to concentrated ? But I used it on another ones, they are OK . |

| Possibly one of the less well known viruses. The following link mentions that an article (with color pictures) may be published in the American Rose Magazine describing the "newer" viruses. It may be useful to see pictures of the same plant several weeks later. |
Here is a link that might be useful: link for above
|
| I took soil test this morning. PH-5.0, N-low,Phos- med-hi, and Pot- hi. I'll try to fix it and we'll see. |
