Very rainy here in MD. Are the yellow markings due to being too wet? Holes in other leaves. Anything I can do for these two problems?

Hi Pat,
Holes are probably due to aphids or some other pest which you can dust for.
The yellow in the leaves could be from damp, not totally sure as Roses can have a few problems. Mine are coming back from hungry bunny snacking all Winter.

There are 1001 articles on Rose Mosaic Disease. Some say get rid of the rose others say the rose maybe OK. Google it to get an idea of the range of advice.

Here is 1 such article.

I think my links have screwed up my post and has cut it off to the right. But the links work as is.

But 1 line was cut off. I was saying Google Rose Mosaic Disease to get an idea of the range of advice. You can also compare all the photos to your rose and see if you agree it is Rose Mosaic Disease.

Your last photo I am not familiar with. I have seen nutritional deficiencies cause odd leaf colorations. There are many to pick from. If you think it may be that, you can google each one till you find a match.

Was it on the same bush as the previous picture? If so, I found this picture which might resemble yours. It says such a leaf can show up with Rose Mosaic Disease.
