Discoloured Canes
Hi I'm new here and have to admit not much of a gardener so I need some
advice. I recently moved into a new unit which has some lovely roses in two small garden beds at the front. 2 of the 3 bushes in one of the beds have gradually succumbed to something which made the canes turn from a healthy green to a bronze colour starting at ground level and creeping upwards. It seems to start on just one cane and then spreads to the rest. The third rose in that bed is a beautiful climber and I don't want to lose that too. I don't want to replace the others yet if the problem is something attacking the roots or something in the soil. Any ideas? I live in Western Australia just in case that may have a bearing on the answer. Heather -- Life is short - drink good wine |

Cut them back to the green wood 1/4 or 5 cm below the BRONZE wood.
