Have you used Glyphosate weedkiller nearby? If spray drifted onto
the plant
it would screw up its metabolism and roses are notoriously sensitive
to
glyphosate.

Thanks.....I haven't actually, the only thing I have used within the
same garden is slug pellets but about 12 feet away. I should hve put a
picture on its really weird. I hve seen similar mutations in cactus
kept by a friend of mine near lake Fyrnwy but it was thought those
mutations were the result of the Chernobyl accident tht having
affected the sheep also....Thanks again.
