"Leaves become small, discoloured and strap-like?
This could be the result of virus infection, but a much more common cause is contamination of the plant by the weedkiller glyphosate. The leaves described above often develop in the season following contamination, in small clusters of pale green or pinkish-red leaves, resembling mini witches’ brooms.
Rose rosette virus, transmitted by microscopic eriophyid mites, is a problem in the USA and Canada, but is yet to be confirmed in the UK. Some of the symptoms produced are very similar to those caused by glyphosate contamination as described above. If you can rule out glyphosate contamination as the cause of the symptoms affecting your plant, and suspect that Rose rosette virus could be responsible, you should report this to the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA)on telephone number 01904 405 138 or by email at [email protected] ..."
I had this last year but on two delphiniums...I deduced it could only of been that I had sprayed Weedol on the patio a few feet away and that the Weedol got into water level The leaves looked identical your rose leaves.
I managed to save one by cutting right back and replacing all the soil the roots made contact with. Plants looks great this year
Yes i agree with others. I once accidently sprayed two roses with weed killer thinking it was fungicide for blackspot. They looked exactly like that and had to be taken out and disposed of.
I think the clue is in the fact that your neighbours plants were ok so it points to some kind if isolated chemical damage. I think you need to speak to your neighbours to see if they know what might have happened. I know I would be devastated if it happened to me and I feel so sorry. All you can do is give it a season and see what happens and then, if you have to, try to see it as an opportunity to grow new plants.
