You could grow a rose apple tree just for the eye-catching new leaves: pink, red, orange, yellow and brown. Or you might enjoy the delicate rose scent or the beautiful colors of the tree’s fruit.

'There are a number of reasons the leaves on your rose plants could be turning yellow. The most common reason is too much, or too little, water,' says Gareth Mitchell, founder of Tree2mydoor.

The yellow-flowering top part of your rose likely died in the cold, and now the root section is pushing up its own new growth from the base (or at least from below the graft union).
