My Othello (Austin). Sadly the leaves are currently not in a very healthy state. The bush grew well in Spring. It had healthy leaves and buds, but lost all after a few weeks. This is the only flower this year. I think it has been exposed to sun and weather too much. I'll have to do something about that because the flowers are really beautiful. - It could be that the bush will be planted in a pot at least before I find a better and shadier location.

The rose is perfect. What is causing the leaves to be like that.
Black spot is common.

Normally David Austin roses are quite disease resistant but that does look
like the fungus infection Rose Black Spot.
