beckygardener,
I couldn't stand it when my foliage looked like that. So over the past week or so, every morning when I deadhead, I have begun the habit of also "deadleafing" (not just completely dead leaves, but any yellowing leaves that distract from the plants). There were lots the first day, even more it seemed the second and third day, Now it seems the yellow looking leaves have slowed down a little. I gathered a very large bucket full (ten gallon maybe) several mornings with blooms and leaves, but the plants look so much nicer. I just ordered a few new plants and they were all listed as having some degree of rust resistance, it seems that here the rust resistant plants seem to display better foliage.
