The short answer is that the microscopic roughness of the leaf, combined with its waxy surface, causes water to sit on top of the roughness, with air trapped underneath most of the drop. This means it's not sticking to much of anything, and rolls off easily. For more information search for 'Lotus Effect', 'Superhydrophobic' or 'Ultrahydrophobic'. This is my area of research at the University of Alberta, so I hope these links point you in the correct direction to find out as much as you want to know.
