Summer Rose Care
- Continue your spray program with fungicide to prevent Blackspot
- Hopefully, the Japanese Beetles are gone by now!
- Avoid Insecticides, if at all possible to prevent eliminating beneficial insects
- Water if it doesn’t rain 1 inch a week With temperatures in the hi 90s, you may need to water every day or every other day.
- Watch out for Spider Mites. These occur when the weather is hot and dry and can devastate your roses overnight. Spray a forceful stream of water under the leaves (which is where they breed). Look out for spider webs and dry, brown, curling leaves-this is a vey bad and late sign of infestation.
- Check your roses EVERY DAY looking for minor problems/pests before they become a major problem
