6 Important Tips For Rose Care In Your Rose Garden
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.
