Problems with Hollyhocks

[Garvey]

Can anyone help my with a problem I have with my Hollyhocks - have a look at the attached picture.

Is it rust? I believe hollyhocks are very prone to it. I'd cut off the affected leaves.

Yep, me too, I get it every year, its eggs on the underside of the leaf. Cut the leaves off as they go all horrid, chewed to bits and nasty!

[Garvey]

Many thanks. Any ideas how you can stop it ocurring?
