Several of the branches have got brown crinkled up leaves, and the tips have gone limp and black.

I was pruning around there a while ago. I hope that's it anyway. I'll have a look tomorrow. I do tend to panic and think the worst lol

We put the heating on Tuesday night. If this is what it's like now I hate to think of what's to come I shall bury my head in the sand for now I think

Was it from some pruning Hywel? If not is there any powdery fungus on it, I was reading up on various roses as you know for something to grow up my obelisk & dismissed Dorothy Perkins as it wasn't very scented & was said to be prone to diseases especially powdery mildew which if it was bad enough could have caused the leaves to brown up & crinkle like those in your photo.

Well I am wearing shorts today aswell - although it's drizzling it feels quite warm. I don't mind that

SueA It was because I had cut through the branch. I did it to several of them but didn't remov e them all. The border is very thickly grown and I must have missed them.
Yes Dorothy Perkins does get mildew sometimes. In my previous garden it was bad but up here she's had none at all. I wonder why ......

probably cos the rain washes all the spores off.

I'll get around to it eventually
