I received a Climbing Queen Elizabeth rose tree for Mothers Day (of this year)...we planted it....but the bottom of the leaves are turning brown. Can you help me out on what is the problem and what I should do?

Generally, when the bottom of the leaves of a rose turn brown, it is a symptom of a spider mite infestation. If you want to double check, just put a clean white piece of paper under the leaves and tap them. When you look at the paper you can see tiny, itty-bitty, dots. Those are spider mites.
It's a good practice to wash the underside the the leaves of your roses with a water wand periodically to avoid spider mites.
