1 litre Rose Clear Ultra Spray Bottle, Kills Aphids, Controls Fungus & Prevents Further Attacks

Product Information

Some rose waters can certainly cost a premium, and this could be due to a high concentration of rose, the product’s size, or even the quality of the other ingredients added to the formula. However, more expensive doesn’t always mean better. Compare the size, ingredients, and production processes of the products you’re interested in to make sure that you’re getting your money’s worth.

Liquid copper adheres to leaves better than powdered copper and won't shrink away from the leaf edge as it dries, thereby ensuring better coverage and protection. This tiny mite loves warm airless conditions and will thrive in the greenhouse or conservatory but is also becoming more prevalent in the garden, especially in hot dry periods. The mite is extremely small and will not often be spotted even though it infests in great numbers. It is the fine web that it weaves between the leaves and the damage it causes to them that is the giveaway. The leaves will become pale and limp, sometimes almost dirty with a bronze discolouration before they fall helplessly. The obvious solution is to spray the undersides of the leaves but by this time much of the damage has been done. If the plant is in a pot under glass, move it outside for a while and spray it with water occasionally; the spider mite will not enjoy its new habitat and will move away to a more appropriate area or die. Plants in the garden should be washed down on a daily basis until the mite has left but try to do this in the morning or evening when the sun is not too powerful or the leaves will scorch. Rose Slug Sawfly Cute little bunnies are not as innocent as they appear and they particularly enjoy feasting on roses. Young rabbits relish the young tender shoots that are within their reach and will systematically find them all as they sprout in spring. Older rabbits will cause major destruction, especially in winter by stripping the plants of their bark often standing on their hind legs to reach the higher stems. If you live in an area inhabited by these creatures some measures will need to be taken to protect your roses. A wire mesh fence can be used to keep them out but be sure there are none in the garden when you put this up, otherwise you will compound the problem, rabbits produce offspring like roses produce leaves. The alternative way to protect them is to erect individual fencing around the base of each rose at least while they are young, although unsightly this will allow the roses a head start against the rabbits. There are chemicals, which can be sprinkled on the ground designed to keep rabbits away, but these are never completely successful. Red Spider Mite At first sign of new spring growth, spray one application of a PLANThealth Copper Fungicide Liquid.This is one of the weirdest phenomena of the rose. In early summer a bloom will appear to be opening quite normally, then it will be noticed that another bud is appearing from the centre of the unfurling flower. This is proliferation and no one knows exactly why it happens. Some experts believe it to be viral, and it does tend to occur repeatedly in the same varieties although not consistently on every plant in that variety, but the general consensus is that it is genetic, with parts of the reproductive area overproducing. Rose Replant Disease (specific replant disease)

During the winter while roses are pruned and dormant, fill a watering can with a diluted mix of Sulphur rose and water or Jeyes Fluid and attach a shower head rose to the can. Give each rose 5 litres of the mix, this should kill off any overwintering disease spores and give your roses a clean start for the following season. Try to avoid catching the foliage with the mixture as it may scorch. Still No Joy? Spray no more regularly than every fortnight on active growth. Ideally in dry, cool and cloudy weather but during hot and sunny spells do this during early mornings or evenings. Re-spray roses after heavy rainfall to recoat and protect the leaves. Roses are non-resistant to this product, so it can be used regularly. Ready Mix Spray Sulphur Rose In wet summer weather the outer petals on a freshly opening flower often become fused together, the flower is then referred to as being ‘balled’. This is most often found on the many petalled varieties with naturally tight buds, particularly some of the Bourbons and the Hybrid Teas. If full sun follows prolonged rain the petals that are congealed together then dry out to become a crisp shell which will prevent the flower opening. If this happens the bloom will rot within its cocoon and fall away or remain on the plant in a revolting brown state. In larger gardens this has to be lived with until the roses are dead-headed, when the unsightly specimens can be removed, but in less time consuming smaller gardens, or where specimen roses in prominent positions are affected, the outer petals can be carefully teased away to allow the flower to open naturally. Proliferation Spray the roses regularly (every two weeks) with PLANT health Spectrum to prevent the disease from taking hold. When your roses are clean, don't spray at all. You may be surprised by how long your roses go without showing upany disease or pests (or not). The old adage, prevention is better than cure applies here though, so be prepared to spray 2 or 3 times to eradicate stubborn diseases.Dr. Ava Shamban is a board-certified dermatologist in New York City, and the founder of Ava MD.

When there is considerable new spring growth, stop oil and copper and start summer sprays as oil and copper mixes may burn the new foliage. Roses, like other plants, are a food source for garden pests which will need to be controlled if the plants are to perform well in the garden.
