Default Additional info from poster

Hi Everyone:
Thanks for all the responses, they help.
I got some more pictures on the web site at


http://home.earthlink.net/~cenews/garden/


Here's a few things:
The picture on the top right. Although it didn't come out well in the photo,
there's a vine where the new leaves are the usual red, then they normally
turn to a healthy green. A few of the leaves are orange. It's as if someone
rubbed a cheeto on the leaf. They whole vine doesn't look healthy.

Some of my 8 plants have completely healthy leaves, some have a few yellow
mixed in. The bottom left photo gives a good example of what they look like
when they are yellow. One of the posters yesterday mentioned it's normal.

Assuming the yellow leaf is normal, and the orange can easily be explained,
the pictures give an accurate description of all my roses. The red one
covered in shade is has a wilted leaf on the outside on the outside. You can
see how the yellow looks similar in shape to the pink one

It is accurate to say it occurs on the outer part of the petal, but there's
slight damage on the inside of the petal too. I tried peeling back some of
the petals to give away for Mother's Day but these flowers aren't one's to
give away (unless you want to show someone you don't care!). When the petals
are just blooming it looks slightly brown and really ugly. I can tell the
petals that are just blooming are going to come out looking like this. Some
of the dialog in posts mention stem rotting. I wouldn't consider this the
case unless you would consider what I mention above rotting.

They normally don't get the leaves watered but I had the sprinklers on as I
was taking pictures. Any water on the petals in the last two months would
have been in a rain storm, this is the first time I've turned my sprinklers
on in months. We've had 3 or 4 rainstorms since March

Hopefully I've clarified and not convulted the thread. I appreciate the
feedback,

Craig
