Question From: Mesa, Arizona, United States
Q: I have not seen a picture of the problem I have. I have a climbing rose and four other roses that start to begin with a strip of dark brown on the leaves...above part is yellow and before you know the whole leaf is dark brown. I don't see any that fall off, but when I see the brown spreading I pull them off. I notice lately the new growth is nothing but a lite lite green. I hate to loose all these roses and am worried I am doing the wrong thing. I have sprayed with a fungus spray and to now avail. I'm beginning to think it may be the heat. I live in Arizona and the heat has been pretty bad this year. Our temperature has been in the 100's.

My guess is you roses are suffering from sun scorch. Misting the leaves with water on 100 degree days will help. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
