What to Do When Rose Leaves Turn Yellow Whether you planted the rose bushes yourself or have been taking care of them in your yard, you want them to look good. Walking by them one day to see the leaves turning yellow can be disturbing, but it is not a symptom you should ignore (unless its fall and the leaves are changing, but even then rose leaves tend to turn a rust red, not yellow). Here's what you need to do to identify why the leaves are turning yellow, so you can treat the problem and reverse the process and prevent your rose bush from dying.One of the most likely causes of yellow leaves is iron chlorosis. In general, chlorosis is caused by iron deficiency. It is particularly common in the Southwest, where soil tends to have a high calcium carbonate content. Chlorosis can usually be remedied by soil treatments. Add 1-2 pounds of iron sulphate or sulphur per hundred square feet for a single application, followed by mulch that is at least four inches thick. For an immediate treatment, spray your roses' leaves with an iron sulphate solution comprising of one ounce of iron sulphate diluted in three gallons of water. Most garden centers will carry one or two products like...more

Gear up for another nail-biting year to find out whether your Medicare payments will be slashed. The calendar year 2011 Physician Fee Schedule conversion factor is $25.5217, according to the 2011 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule, printed in the Federal Register that will be published on Nov. 29. This amounts to a poor 30 percent cut compared to the current rate of $36.8729. Congress has come up with temporary relief from these reductions every year since the year 2003, but a long time solution is the need of the hour. Work is being done to permanently reform the Medicare payment formula. As most of you must be aware, last June, Congress voted to only stave off a 21 percent cut to your Medicare pay; however to increase the conversion factor by 2.2 percent. But, that vote only kept the cuts at bay through November 30. With effect from December 1, your Medicare pay is set to drop by over 23 percent, until and unless Congress intervenes to reverse the cuts. Add to that the fact that 2011 payments are due to drop even further beginning January 1, and medical practices are facing nightmares. Physicians are at a loss wondering what will take place when the calendar...more
