Hi,
I've got an odd problem with several of my dark red roses - they have very
few leaves - but plenty of blooms. Sometimes there are no leaves on the
cane. It is a BlackBoy variant. Not much of a scent. Not a climber.
Multiple petal diamond shaped rose flowers.
What can I do to encourage it to have more leaves?
Could it be due to the fact that they were cuttings which I placed into the
ground after about 1 year in a pot?
Or perhaps its just a case of black spot? Although I can't seem to see any
black spot on the plants or fallen leaves.
They receive full sun, a well drained soil, they've been in the ground for
over 10 years now. The soil is well mulched. A Mr Lincoln grows nearby and
does fantastically well - no problem there.

Are you sure it isn't a characteristic of that particular variant? Dora
