Hiya
I pruned a little early this year (about mid June) and some of my roses are starting to sprout early. In particular my Papa Meilland has tons of little leaves already. However I was shoucked to discover yesterday, the undersides of the leaves already covered with aphids in some spots. I immediately angrily sprayed everyone (particularly Papa) with Pyrithrum (sorry about spelling).
My other roses were not effected yet (Angel Face, Mr Lincoln, Queen Liz, yellow carpet).
I thought it would be good to share other roses that are particularly susceptible to aphids... |
