Preventing Rose Problems
Problems in rose growing are found in an inverse proportion to the prevention of them. In other words, an ounce of prevention is worth 10 pounds of cure.
- Bad drainage, too little water, poor soil, insects and diseases are all preventable and/or curable with good care of your roses.
- Avoid watering in the evening. When diseases are present, water the ground and not the leaves. This avoids spreading diseases.
- Keep the center of your roses clear of crossing branches. This improves air circulation and prevents chafing of branches.
- Keep on your toes. Spray your roses immediately at the first sign of disease or insects.
- Healthy plants produce more and live longer than weak plants.
