Barnsley Baby leaf problem

HI all,
I have a Barnsley Baby lavatera which I was given last summer.
I planted it up from a pot in the autumn, and pruned it back this spring. The leaves look odd to me, but I can't see any pests, and a Google search suggests rust, which it doesn't appear to be.
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance.

Some sort of leaf miner , I think. Give it a spray with a systemic insecticide such as Provado ultimate bug killer. Do not spray any plants that are near to flowering, or already flowering as it will kill bees.
Thanks for the advice... I'll give it a go. It'd be a shame to lose it, it was lovely last summer.
I bought a Lavetera barnsley baby a few months ago and have put it in a big pot .It looks really healthy but has now started with some of the leaves going a pale green .Any advise would be most welcome .
