Red Robin

I have a small one, about 2' high which we planted a couple of months ago. It looks healthy but is dropping the occassional leaf and has orange spots on some of the leaves. It looks as though they have been splashed with orange paint. Does anyone know what this is and if I can cure it? It looks beautiful apart from this and I don't want to lose it.

Hello!! :D

It sounds as though your Red Robin has signs of Rust.

Are these orange spots raised & are they on the undersurface of the leaves?
