by Bob Roy
Many people could not resist a rose's beauty and
scent. Imagine this coming from your rose garden. These flowers are
known to be a bit complicated to grow, but anyone could start rose gardening
in the comfort of her own backyard. Good rose care will keep it beautiful.
To make sure that your most prized rose garden is in the pink or even
red of their health, simply follow these tips on rose care dealing with
most of their health dilemma:
1. Black Spots on Leaves in Your Rose Garden
This disease is commonly known as black spot. Black spots appear as
circular with fringed edges on leaves. They cause the leaves to yellow.
The solution is to remove the infected foliage and pick up any fallen
leaves around the rose. For the rose care artificial sprays may be used
to prevent or treat this kind of rose disease.
2. Stunted or malformed young canes
Known as powdery mildew, this is a fungal disease that covers leaves,
stems and buds with wind spread white powder. It makes the leaves to
curl and turn purple. Spray with Funginex or Benomyl to treat this fungal
disease that could ruin your rose garden.
3. Blistered underside of leaves
A disease of roses known as rust, it is characterized with orange-red
blisters that turn black in fall. In spring, it attacks new sprouts.
This disease can even survive winter. What you can do is to collect
and discard leaves that are infected in fall. Benomyl and Funginex spraying
every 7-10 days may help.
4. Malformed or stunted leaves and flowers - not for your rose garden
What could have caused this is the presence of spider mites. They are
tiny yellow, red or green spiders on the underside of leaves. They also
suck juices from leaves. The application of Orthene or Isotox is good
rose care and will help in treating this infestation.
5. Weak and mottled leaves with tiny white webs under them
This might be caused by aphids. They are small soft-bodied insects that
are usually brown, green or red. Often clustered under leaves and flower
buds. They suck plant juices from tender buds. Malathion or diazinon
spray may help roses to survive these bugs.
6. Flowers that don't open or are deformed when they open.
The infestation in your rose garden is probably thrips. It is characterized
with slender, brown-yellow bugs with fringed wings thriving in flower
buds. They also suck juices from flower buds. The rose care for this
is to cut and discard the infested flowers. Using Orthene and malathion
may also treat this health problem of your roses.
This valuable information regarding the diseases your roses are prone
to have will prove to be very helpful in making your rose garden ever
more inviting.
