Help! Whats wrong with my roses?
« on: August 22, 2010, 15:49 »
Hi everyone,

I have a rose plant and just recently I've noticed chalky white stuff on some of the leaves, looks kind of like dust but it doesn't come off, I've tried washing it off and I've been spraying occasionally with spray against fungus but nothings doing anything! Any ideas what it is and what I can do?

Thanks!

it sounds like mildew.  Some rose varieties are more susceptible than others. Good ventilation around your plant is a good idea as is a mulch of manure etc.  I think mildew is worse in hot, dry conditions combined with lack of ventilation if your rose is against a wall etc which mine limit air flow round it

I'd google what to do for mildew on roses as I'm no expert
