| I am new to roses and something is eating my leaves.
The damage seems to be primarily at the bottom of the bush and Pristine and Gemini see to be the main targets. I live in the San Francisco Bay area Delta region, Antioch, Ca. Thanks, Andrea |

| Andrea, those look like the sharp irregular notches left by feeding adult weevils. Evergreens like rhododendron and azalea are often their targets but I've found them on siberian iris and mayapple too. Small, maybe 1/4" - 1/2", black, brown or tan in color. Go out after dark with a flashlight and see if you can find any of these on the leaves: |
