When we moved to our new home in Essex we inherited lots of lovely plants especially roses. I love gardening and nature.

Why has this plant got lots of red spots on the leaves? Anyone have any ideas please? 🤔

It looks like some form of rust @cjh123 ? Doesn't seem to affected it too much ? 🐰

@cjh123 I wonder if this is lack of feeding. Rhododendron leaves turn rusty if not fed enough ericaceous food. I have a collection of 10 different Pieris and I dig in ericaceous compost round them or mulch them with homemade compost. I'm no expert but it works for me.

@cjh123 I have quite a few myself and always spread ericaceous compost and mulch so maybe it's worth trying that as mentioned in the comment above 😆
