Any idea what might be eating the leaves on this rose please? It only seems to affect this stem.

Quite possibly leaf cutter bees, you lucky thing 🐝😍

Yes, those semicircles are made by leafcutter bees. Please let them enjoy their meal, and it doesn't harm the rose at all.

Definitely leafcutter bees! 😍

Try to see it as doing nature a good turn.

Excellent, always happy to feed the bees! There are some nesting under the shed.
