Marilyn Highley on Jul 09, 2013Jayme, I'm not certain, but I think your roses have "rose mosaic virus". I would recommend taking some of the affected leaves sealed in a zip top bag to a plant specialist (county extension, nursery, local rose society) and ask for some help from them.Helpful Reply

Melissa Gutilla on Jul 09, 2013Mine was turning yellow early this year and I sprayed it with a 3 and 1 for roses and it went away but now it is really turning yellow and the leaves are literally falling off!! I think I'm going to get some more of the spray stuff and see if it fixes it again! Fingers crossed!!Helpful Reply

146254 on Jul 10, 2013Do you use anything specifically made to feed roses? Phosphorous is important, but there are other things that a rose needs as well. The bone meal idea is a good one, and Rose fertilizer around the base of the rose is another. I use one by Ortho called Rose Pride. If you aren't feeding them, this may be your problem. It's so hard to say, but start with the basics.Helpful Reply

Douglas Hunt on Jul 10, 2013The pattern of yellowing does suggest it may be rose mosaic. I would do as Marilyn suggests. If it is mosaic, there is little you can do. The good news is that it does not spread from plant to plant.Helpful Reply
