This is "normal" on some varieties. Nothing to worry about. You "don't" have any disease or anything. These brown spots appear on the new, green wood. This is what makes the plant attractive to some gardeners.

Reply:Don't worry, I have the same thing on my drangeas also, and I'm not worried a bit. And thanks for choosing a best answer. Report It
Reply:I had several suffer from this. One just kept getting worse and died. I think is was root rot or wilt. In any case, spraying with insect and diesease control returned the rest of the plants to health.

You may be able to spray with just a fungicide.
