I have 3 young bushes in pots which have been bursting with health,until today when I noticed that some of the new leaves are all withered & curling up.

 

Any ideas what has caused this & how I can fix it?

Try looking under the leaves and you may find that they have aphids. We moved 3 bushes in the spring and they are all like this with the stress of the move. I have sprayed them with washing up liquid in water which has moved most of them. I didn't want to use anything stronger because although they are netted off they are quite close to the chooks.

Yes, I'd say it was aphids.

 

If it's not many you can pick the leaves off or spray with dilute washing up liquid as Chickenanne says.

I have given them a spray with something I found in the greenhouse
