Pesticides and Your Roses

By: Carmen SanDago




After all the hard work, time and
attention you put into you rose
gardens, the last thing you want
is to loose them due to fungus
and disease.
Proper planting, feeding, watering
and sunlight are not enough. In
order to keep your roses healthy,
you must treat them properly to
avoid getting diseases and
infestations of mite and insects.
Disease control is an important
part of maintaining beautiful a
contend with black spot and powdery
mildew on their roses almost every
year.

Regular fungicide applications are
needed to control both of these
diseases. These treatments should
also control Botrytis blight and
other foliage diseases. You will
also have to contend with mites
and insects. Regular treatments
of a pesticide are needed wh
mites and insects are present.
Spray weekly with a fungicide to control
powdery mildew and black spot. To rid
your roses of insects, use a systemic
rose care product. When spraying for
insects and disease, be sure to coat
the undersides of the leaves, since
many if the diseases and insects that
infest roses live there.

To ensure full coverage, spray until
the solution drips off the leaves.
Six hours of sun a day helps your
roses stay healthy. Morning sun is
best because it dries the dew off the
leaves, helping to prevent fungus
diseases.
Unfortunately, the sun does not help
when it comes to mites and insects.
When spraying your plants, thorough
coverage is important in controlling
rose pests. Apply pesticides only
according to label directions and
only when pests are present.
Remember to use caution when using
pesticides. Do not inhale or spray
on skin or in eyes. You best bet is
to wear rubber gloves when applying
any pesticide.

Proper pest identification is
necessary to know which chemical to
apply as well as the proper
application time. Specific pesticides
are suggested for each pest. The
pesticides are listed by the common
chemical name found in the active
ingredient area of the product
label.
Look for the appropriate active
ingredient on the label and verify
that the product can be used on
roses. Some pesticide products are
ready to use, while others require
preparation. Also, some pesticides
are harder to find and may require
more effort to locate.Always read
and comply with the pesticide label.
