It seems that even with the best of prevention
techniques
and caring for your roses, you cannot always stop
diseases and
problems from affecting your roses. For all of the
problems
your roses can encounter, there are just as many
ways to fix
them. All it takes is a little bit of tender loving
care, and
the right techniques. Here are some of those
techniques to
help your roses look their best.
Aphids and Spider Mites
Aphids are a greenish brown insect that suck the
juices
from roses, and can eventually cause your roses to
dry out. To
effectively treat them, simply blast your roses with
soapy
water.
Black Spots
Black spots are a fungal disease that causes the
canes to
turn black or brown in spots on the foliage. To
remedy this,
simply prune the affected areas and throw out the
clippings.
Do not water the head to prevent this from happening
again.
Canker
A canker is another fungal disease that causes the
canes to
turn black or brown. All you have to do is prune the
canes
just below the canker in the early spring.
Midge
A midge is a tiny maggot that causes the rose’s buds
to
blacken from the damage. If you would like to fix this
problem,
prune the affected area and then destroy it.
Rust
Rust is a disease that creates an orange powder in
the
centre of the rose. It is caused by wet and calm
winter
weather. Putting in some spider mites can help with
this
because they hate the water. You should consult your
local
garden centre about the best insecticide to use in
order to
get rid of the spider mites. Once you have chosen
the
insecticide, spray every 7-10 days until it is under
control.
Powder Mildew
You can put an end to powder mildew by making a
mixture of
Spray over the roses in the morning every two weeks
until
the overall temperature around the roses reaches 80
degrees.
