on my Double Delight which has passed it on to Sexy
Rexy in the pot next to it.
Will I isolate them from the others or leave them in the row and spray them all with Triforine Rose Fungicide ?
I have been pulling the leaves off that are infected, do I need to keep doing that or just leave them there ?
You may guess that I am a real Rose Newbie can't you ?

Hi Marion you are doing the right things for your area, just make sure that those leaves get
disposed of in the bin I usually put mine in plastic bags before and let them cook in the sun.
The booklet that came with all my new roses suggested spraying with Triforine at 7-10 day
intervals during spring and right through to autumn. And after the very high humidity we have had the past few days I will start spraying mine soon too.
It's also a is a good idea to spray your roses with lime sulpher after pruning as that helps as well.
I dont suppose it will hurt moving the infected plants but it is a air born problem,
So they all might get it...Cheers...MM |

| Milk in a 1 is to 7 mix with water will deal with powdery mildew anywhere in Oz. Its cheap and coats the leaves beautifully. |

Yes Triforine is great and its relly important to seperate them because it is very contagious.

| Sorry for the delay, we have been busy here organising a day with 100 visitors and cooking Damper and corn meat and billy tea. My Roses got a spray of Triforine in amongst gathering wood for the fires and so forth. They are looking better but a bit stripped where I pulled off the infected leaves. The milk spray sounds interesting as I don't like using too many poisons round the place. Thanks again for your help. Marion |

| Milk ere too. Works perfectly. the weather's been condusive to it, but healthy plants and some milk fixes it easy. |
