What's Wrong with my Rose Leaves- 5 Foliar Diseases

Your rose leaves are trying to tell you something — and most of the time, the answer isn't as scary as it looks. In this video I walk through the five fungal issues that show up on rose foliage most often, how to tell them apart at a glance, and why sometimes getting the ID right actually changes what you do about it. If you've ever stood over a spotted leaf wondering whether to panic or just prune, this one's for you.

For those with some experience with these diseases, I'll mention it one more time here in the description: my ratings of ""severity"" or acuteness of the problem probably won't match your own experience. For me, powdery mildew is not widespread in my roses and rarely causes more that cosmetic issues. That said, it varies with varieties grown and climate/location - and if your experience varies, kindly share that in the comments.
