Question
some of the leaves of my rose of sharon are getting black spots, then they turn yellow. What could be the cause of this?

Answer
Hi Monika, Diseases
If leaf spots are seen, pick off and destroy the
infected leaves.
If bacterial leaf spot causes problems, pick off and
destroy infected leaves.  You may also spray your plant with Atomic Grow or Neem for future protection.  kathy
