Yellow leaves, sure, but usually canes go from green to brown to gray over time (and even that varies by rose type - some rose canes start out as red). Maybe if you mention the type of climbing roses you have, how long they've been planted, the type of soil, other cultural conditions, feeding schedule, we might be able to figure something out. The only thing that springs to mind is too much water but since you say it's been dry where you are, and you're only watering once per week, that shouldn't be a problem. Speaking of feeding, climbers are supposed to be heavy feeders (although mine seem to do ok on my less than perfect feeding schedule). What's your feeding schedule?

Gee, from your pictures the plants look quite healthy. My mini climbers
sometimes develop yellow, spindly canes, which I attribute to too little sun and too much water. The leaves look healthy, so it isn't likely a iron issue. Could the canes have been damaged in anyway?

I agree with Martin. Your climber looks a bit leached out. You seem to have done all that's required so it's hard to judge what's wrong. However, I'm only seeing one cane in that photo. If the one cane is only one cane on an otherwise healthy bush, I wouldn't worry about it. But if there's only one cane to the bush, considering that you planted this over a year ago, I would expect more growth. Do you water well a day before feeding? Sometimes if the plant isn't hydrated well before fertilization, it can damage the plant. Other than that, and a soil test, I can't think of anything else. Sometimes a rose just isn't fated to do well. Gail |

Chlorosis would seem to be more likely if the whole plant was displaying
symptoms. I didn't see a lot of evidence myself of generalized yellowing on the plant pictures, and I couldn't tell if there was green veining, which is often associated with depleted iron. That being said, I'm unaware of a disadvantage to a modest application of chelated iron. It would adjust pH, as well as increase the available iron level.

I'm alone seeing one pikestaff in that photo. If the one pikestaff is only one pikestaff on an contrarily advantageous bush, I wouldn't anguish about it. But if there's alone one pikestaff to the bush, because that you planted this over a year ago, I would apprehend added growth.
