And Mrs Rose was just lush and green now showing signs of going dormant.


We are back to high of 80s and lows mid 60s this week.

Glad I found this thread, similar to last year my desert roses have buds but some leaves are turning yellow. We are still high 80s during the day and no rain in sight the whole week. I haven't watered for a week and now leaves are turning yellow even with buds. I watered most but just the top to keep them moist.

Some think it is spring and growing new leaves. They are confused this time of year. Most likely the yellowing was a response from last week's cold weather.
