lots of the elaves are showing signs of something eating them. Even the
new leaves coming through have curled up brown tindged edges to them.
What can this be? any ideas please. I am new to gardening so please any
If you have lots of ants this can be a sign of things being too dry.New
leaves going brown can also be a sign of dryness. Have you been watering
your new hedge?

Yeah, have been watering them regularly. According to Reg Moule I have what are called 'Scale Insects' and also maybe a Potash shortage so going to treat them to some rose food and spray with Bio Provado Ultimate Bug Killer.
