This article will provide a detailed analysis of the causes and prevention methods for white spots on rose leaves.
Reasons for White Spots on Rose Leaves1. Disease Causes
The most common reason for white spots on rose leaves is fungal diseases, such as powdery mildew, black spot disease, and gray spot disease. These diseases can cause white, yellow, or brown spots on rose leaves, and in severe cases, the leaves will wither and fall off.

Pests are also a reason for white spots on rose leaves, such as aphids and red spiders, which will absorb the sap of roses, leading to white or yellow spots on the leaves.
