Check round the soil for vine weevil.
Has the soil become very hard round your shrub?. The red spots may be nail fungus.
Has it been waterlogged?. Fork round the soil, spray with both fungicide and pesticide.
Dress the root area with erica - compost (dry), and dress the soil with sulphate of potash early spring.
