Rose leaf veins are yellow

16 years ago

I have two double knockouts and both have leaves that are turning yellow. First the leaves get a little yellow. Then the veins turn yellow. Next the whole leaf turns yellow and dies. I had my soil tested several weeks ago and it was fine. The leaves are at the bottom of the plant and moving upwards. The roses are not next to each other, but are in the same bed. We have had alot of rain. It has rained for 5 days and looks like more rain today. Could the rain cause this or is the lack of minerals. They came from the same company. Could they have a disease? They have grow very quickly and produce a lot of blooms. The blooms are smaller than they should be, but before the rain we had 100's temperatures. I can't post a picture, because I do not have a digital camera. Any help would be greatly appreicated.

Thanks

I am no expert, but from experience and with out seeing a picture, it sounds like the yellowing of the leaves is from all the water you just got. As far as the smaller blooms, that is not uncommon when the weather get hot.

I am sure someone living in your area will come along and help answer your questions as well.

Ann, if you have a flatbed scanner, you can put a leaf or leaves into
the scanner. Scan both sides.
You can create a jpg that way.

Rosesnpot, thanks for your response. I am hoping it is just too much water.

Jeri, I don't have a scanner. I have a very old computer. I have had it for years. It has windows 95. Every time it breaks, and I hope I will get a new one my husband fixes it. Can you make a Jpg from a CD? I have my pictures put on disk. I don't even have a clue on how to make jpg. What is it? A new computer and digital camera would make it alot easier to view and post on GW. Thanks for your suggestion!

If your photos are on a cd, the files probably ARE jpgs.

A jpg is a type of graphics file which can easily be sent via email and Internet.

Best I can think of for you is to see if there is a local Consulting Rosarian in
your area, who might take a look at the leaves.
