What is causing the orange spots on my Rose of Sharon bushes?

Our Advice:

Rose of Sharon (Hypericum calycinum) will thrive in most areas, but can suffer from rust in hot, dry conditions. Prune it hard in the spring and start spraying with Fungus Fighter Plus from Bayer or Rosegarde from Vitax at regular intervals. Regular watering in dry weather will also help.
