Could anyone throw some light on what is happening to my roses please...it seems the new growth of the second flush is curling up and disfiguring.Would this be as a result of the temperature? I have watered them most days
I'm wondering if it's rose rosette disease..

A bit more likely to be weed killer. Rosette doesn't cause the stems to curl into piggly wigglies like that. Maybe weed killer from the neighbors? Meadowland, does anyone help you to garden? Sometimes our loved onesare a little too helpful. :]

if ou used it back in the spring then that will have affected how these shoots developed. it doesn't really look like rosette virus as tug says its too curly wurly.

the rosette disease hasn't been confirmed in the UK yet though it is present in the USA and Canada
