Sunburn on At Last rose?

[nellie923]

My At Last rose has done well in a container on my deck, but now is showing signs of distress. Leaves are getting light in tone, some yellow (see photo of closeup of leaf) The plants gets watered daily and up untril a few days ago it was blooming and looking happy. I think the problem may be sunburn, as we have had extremely hot weather here for weeks.
Do roses get sunburn? I can move it to a more shady spot if that might help. It gets fed from time to time with rose tone but it may need something else. Other advice? Thanks.

It appears to me that the plant is being given too much water and the fertilizer has leached out. Too much water is evidenced by the browning of the leaf tips and a lack of food by the overall yellowing of the leaves while the leaf veins are still a greenish color. No plant needs to be watered every day

Howdy @nellie923 . Yes, for sure. My roses right now all have some sunburn showing on them. The good news is they are resilient.

We are hitting 100 deg F just about every day now here and that does burn some leaves. Don't remove them as they still provide some shade. Looks like you have it in a pot so would be easy to move it to get some afternoon shade until this heat relents. I would not feed them until the temps abate somewhat.

Thanks. I moved it this morning to a spot under the deck cover so it won't get the hottest sun. We have had 100+ for days now, although it is a bit cooler today with less humidity. Supposed to get hot hot next week...oy

I just pulled both of my At Last, because they started doing poorly like yours, I'm thinking they couldn't withstand the high temperature cause the rest of my roses were fine.
I replaced them with two Double Knockout roses, which are stronger and I like much better cause they hold their blooms way longer than the At Last
