shriveled leaves


Question

Leaves
I have three potted roses in twenty gallon pots. All three have developed shriveled leaves and
stunted growth. Even the roses are about a third smaller.

Is this a deficiency or and insect related problem. I'm new to growing roses in south Florida and
am only beginning to realize the difficulty. I don't want to lose hope this early in the process.

Answer
From your photo of the leaves, it looks like they got a touch of mildew. Mildew burns the leaves and then they get stunted.  there is nothing you can do now as the damage is done but in a couple of weeks you will see new and normal leaves growing and then the rose will be back to normal.
