Diagnosing Abnormal Rose Leaves: Light Green, Narrow, Shriveled Clusters

Candy's rose produced strange light green, narrow, shriveled leaves in clusters, but normal flowers. Jay suspected nutrient deficiency (likely nitrogen or micronutrients) and recommended:

Treatment

• Apply complete fertilizer (Osmocote or water-soluble).
• Ensure proper soil pH (6.0–6.5) for nutrient uptake.
• Send a photo if possible for confirmation.

Note: Since flowers are normal, the vascular system works—the issue is likely foliar nutrition.
