    Dried & deformed leaves on Roald Dahl.

    There are a few sets of leaflets like this, but only on RD, other adjacent roses appear unaffected.
    I can find no obvious cause for this.

    I am sad to see Moonlight covered in blackspot already; having been well fed and watered. :/
    It's the only rose wth BS or any problem I can see.

    @Heartinthedirt, did you use bonemeal under the rose at all? Maybe a fox?

    That is odd @owd potter. I noticed this morning that the tips of my new Nathalie Nypels are drooping in one pot but okay on the other - weird.

    @owd potter I have a couple of rose tips looking crinkly since the frost the other day, I assumed that. The growth must have been very tender after that warm spell.
    BS already @Fire, yes I'd not be happy with that. Is the rose new?

    It's been cold here down to around 2 - 3C and windy, but no frosts recently.
    Only noticed this deformation today.

    Did you plant with Blood, Fish and Bone @Heartinthedirt ? I have a hole that size that gets redug if it gets filled in but it is next to water so I tell myself it's a vole. Rat is more likely though.
    I just took this picture of Tulip Acuminata, just as well as a thundrous squall with hail and heavy rain may have just flattened it. New to me in the autumn I had no idea where to put 3 measly bulbs and just bunged them in, not sure the bright primulas look good with it but I'll move them after flowering.
    Bring Me Sunshine has very strong growth from a very bare bare root.
    Hi Tack, I used a general rose fertiliser but maybe I'll go and check the contents!

    Love those tulips, btw, gorgeous with those blue Prims.

    Hi Lizzie, Tack asked the same thing, but unless it was in the all-purpose rose fertiliser then no. I'll check the contents.

    Nice Tulip @Tack looks good against the Erysimum behind it

    Thanks for that @Alchemist. In previous years I've always managed to get hold of some of the formulated early rose feed but not this year for some reason, and I hadn't used this before, but I'm glad to see somebody has used it and is happy with it. Cheers.
